Crews have put out a fire that broke out in an RV before it spread to a house in Northwest Miami-Dade, officials said.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of the blaze along Northwest 17th Place, off 122nd Street, at around 4:30 a.m. on Friday.
Cameras captured the property fully engulfed, as bright orange flames shot into the air, prompting an intense firefight.
Speaking with 7News hours later, D said he lived in the home with his grandparents, and he woke up to the sounds of screams and the fire ripping through their home.
“I looked through my window, and that’s where I saw fire everywhere,” he said. “Obviously, I tried to grab a water hose, extension, and started spraying water everywhere, but honestly, [the flames] just started spreading more, and I just got crazy.”
Within moments, dozens of firefighters filled the neighborhood and cordoned off several streets so fire trucks could move in.
Officials said everyone made it out safely, and no one was hurt.
Crews were able to knock down the flames in about an hour and a half.

Firefighters were seen surveying the damage; some checked out the hole in the roof, while others focused on the debris in the backyard.
D shared video of the damaged interior of the house in the aftermath of the blaze. He said most of his family’s belongings were destroyed.
D also told 7News he and his grandparents have lived in the neighborhood for more than 20 years, and they moved into their current home around seven years ago. They had just finished some renovations inside the property.
It remains unclear what sparked the fire, as officials continue to investigate.
