MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Miami Gardens police officers and Miami-Dade and Broward Sheriff’s Office firefighters responded to a house fire on Saturday near the boundary with Broward County.
Two dogs died during the fire that damaged a house in northeastern Miami Gardens along Northwest 215 Street, east of North Miami Avenue, according to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
“We have one firefighter that got injured,” MDFR Battalion Chief Christopher True said adding that there were 13 residents who evacuated the house without injury.
True said the cause of the fire was under investigation and the building was deemed unsafe. There was a large recreational vehicle parked on the side of the house and a line of parked cars by the front yard’s fence.
According to Miami-Dade County records, the property is a 2,442-square-foot single-family house with three bedrooms and one bathroom. A satellite view of the house on Google Maps showed two additions to the back of the original structure and a street view captured in February showed half a dozen cars parked in front.
