A woman was found dead in a fire at a duplex in Deerfield Beach on Thursday morning that authorities are calling “suspicious.”
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue firefighters responded to the scene at Northwest 43rd Street and Northwest 4th Avenue at around 4:30 a.m. and encountered heavy smoke and flames coming from one side of the duplex, Battalion Chief M K said.
As firefighters battled the flames, they found the victim deceased in a back bedroom, K said. The victim’s identity wasn’t released but NBC6 has learned the victim is a woman.
The family next to the unit that caught fire was able to escape, and the fire was knocked down in about 20 minutes, K said.
A dog was also rescued from the fire and reunited with family members.
K said the cause of the fire remains under investigation but is considered “suspicious.”
“At this time, the fire is considered suspicious in nature, but the cause of the fire is not being released at this time,” K said.
This is a developing story.
