A family who lives in the Olympia Heights neighborhood in Southwest Miami-Dade are picking up the pieces after an overnight fire forced them out of their home.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue quickly responded to the home located along Southwest 40th Terrace around 1:15a.m. Monday in reference to a fire.
“[…] Advising kitchen on fire, single family residence,” said a dispatcher.
Crews conducted a thorough search of the house and evacuated all residents.
7News cameras captured a woman being treated outside the home for smoke inhalation, but she did not require transportation. No injuries were reported.
Within a matter of minutes, the fire was brought under control, though fire officials later returned to the residence to contain flare-ups.
“Need help pulling some ceiling pulling some eaves and lets see if we can locate where this fire is coming from, definitely seems like its up in the attic,” radioed a firefighter.
Though the family refused to speak with 7News on camera, they appear to be in good spirits and are receiving support from their neighbors.
The extent of the damage to the home is unknown.
