Residents of a Miramar apartment complex received treatment for smoke inhalation today after a fire broke out on a unit’s patio. First responders quickly brought the situation under control. According to an email from Miramar Fire Administrative Officer Tara Smith obtained by Local 10, the fire was reported around 12:15 p.m. at an apartment building on the 3400 block of Foxcroft Road.
