Early this morning, fire crews in Miami were dispatched to extinguish a blaze at an abandoned structure, confirmed by Miami Fire Rescue. Flames took over the building situated at the corner of Northwest 17th Avenue and 67th Street, with the emergency call coming in at around 6:35 a.m. as reported by Local 10 News. Firefighters mounted an aggressive response to quell the fire, launching into action just minutes after the alarm.

Hovered above the torrid scene, 7Drone Force captured footage of the fire crews systematically combating the inferno. Firefighters, arriving to find the home already in the clutch of flames, managed to bring it under control within twenty minutes. This effort prevented potential spread to neighboring structures, as per WSVN. The house, however, was not lucky enough to survive the ravaging fire, ending up as a total loss.

No injuries were reported from the incident. Lt. Pete Sanchez remarked in an email to Local 10 News, "The fire was brought under control within twenty minutes, with no damage to surrounding structures." He confirmed the building was abandoned and believed to be unoccupied when the fire broke out.

The City of Miami Building Department's Unsafe Structures Division, after being notified by fire officials, plans to evaluate what remains of the burnt edifice to determine its structural integrity, as noted by WSVN. Meanwhile, the origins of the fire are still under investigation by the Miami Fire Investigation Unit.
