A house fire broke out causing confusion and displacing a family in Cape Coral.
The Cape Coral Fire Department responded to the flames along Southeast Ninth Terrace, near Nicholas Parkway and Santa Barbara Boulevard late Sunday.
Multiple first responder units, including Lee County Emergency Medical Services and a fire inspector, were called to the scene.
Fire Battalion Chief Eric Hawkins was on the scene, stating that his crew was dispatched at around 11:40 p.m. on Sunday.
Hawkins detailed the scene to WINK News, mentioning that flames busted through the roof of the home and spread to the family car in the driveway.
No injuries were reported; however, two firefighters received care from EMS for heat exhaustion.
The home was deemed a total loss after crews extinguished the blaze.
“The house has been red tagged, so they’re unable to live there,” said Hawkins. “The fire was severe throughout the garage and then through the attic of the home, deeming it unsafe to live in.”
The family of the home has been displaced, according to Hawkins.
Hawkins spoke with the family, and they informed him of a nearby family they could live with.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
