An early morning fire near downtown Orlando burned through an old trailer where several people reportedly slept in the crawl space.
The Orlando Fire Department responded to the fire after 1 a.m. on Avondale Avenue. The structure is an empty trailer next to the empty Griffin Park Public Housing project that is slated to be demolished.
Zuhair Alsaedi, a security guard monitoring the empty housing complex, said he saw the smoke and fire at the trailer and rushed over, because several people had been sleeping in the crawl space under the trailer.
“All the people were sleeping, five people were sleeping (under it),” Alsaedi told WESH 2. “I see the fire, I tell the people, ‘Please leave, leave, leave.’”
It appears everyone was able to evacuate safely. The OFD has not said yet how the fire may have started.
