A fire engulfed a southwest Miami-Dade townhome Friday night leaving its garage completely destroyed.

It happened at a townhome in the Lago Mar Community, located near the 7300 block of Southwest 158th Avenue near 72nd Street.

According to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, several units along with Miami-Dade police officers responded to the blaze around 11 p.m.
