No injuries reported
Authorities responded to a southwest Miami-Dade home that they say caught fire Tuesday morning.
Sky 10 flew over the home around 11:45 a.m. near the 1800 block of Southwest 82nd Street in the county’s Westchester area as 50 fire crews worked to extinguish the blaze, which appeared to have started in the backyard.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke and flames coming from a “single-family home.
“Crews attacked the fire from two angles and were able to extinguish the fire, MDFR Chief Fire Officer Jeff Suarez. “Fortunately, all the occupants were out of the structure at the time.”
Officials said the incident was upgraded to a “first alarm” before crews extinguished the fire. A patio screen and damaged solar panels were visible at the scene.
Neighbors told Local 10’s Saira Anwer that a husband and wife live in the home with their two children.
They said when the fire broke out, a child and the child’s grandparent were home but were able to escape as dispatch received multiple 911 calls and crews quickly arrived to extinguish the flames.
“It’s scary,” said neighbor Tabassum Alam. “You don’t know the reason what was the fire but it could happen to anyone else.”
No injuries have been reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
