One person had to be flown to the hospital after fire took over a townhouse in Homestead overnight, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said.
Video captured the flames that broke out shortly before midnight Monday at the community on Waterstone Boulevard. Authorities said they received reports of a fire “with possible exposure to neighboring units.”
One person had to be flown to a trauma center, but their identity and the extent of their injuries were not known.
A neighbor said they saw fire on the second floor, and images show flames and smoke coming through the roof. Video also shows one man holding a cat as first responders worked the scene
“First time I’ve seen anything like this. I’ve been here 14 years, never seen anything like this. I think it’s gutted back there,” one neighbor said. “My neighbors woke me up by banging on the window, and I was sleep… I walked around—it’s bad.”
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said at around 2 a.m. that the fire was under control.
