Early this morning, a fire erupted inside a North Miami home, prompting a swift response from local firefighting crews. According to Local 10, heavy smoke was observed coming from the roof of the residence around 5:30 a.m., in the residential area of Northeast 122nd Terrace and 12th Court. Witnesses saw a flurry of fire rescue activity as six firetrucks arrived to tackle the blaze.
Alan Joseph, who had arrived at his sister's nearby home, shared with Local 10, "When I get here, I see a whole bunch of firetrucks -- six firetrucks here. And I told my sister, ‘What’s going on?’ And I look. When I look, I see a gulf of flames coming from the house in the middle, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, that’s my classmate from 2001, I recognize her. That’s Nadia’s house.’ And that’s when I tell my sister -- she’s like, ‘Oh my God. That is her house over there.’ I went close, I seen they removed her. I don’t know if she was the only one in the house, but thank God, you know, she escaped everything. But it was a cloud of smoke coming from the roof of the house.” Wrapped in a blanket, the homeowner Nadia appeared okay, Joseph noted, outside the home.
The cause of the fire was still being investigated after the flames had been extinguished. Authorities did not release any official causes at the time, and it was not stated whether other occupants were in the home during the incident.
On the same event, a report from WSVN confirmed that Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units were called to the scene before dawn, just before 5 a.m. Fortunately, despite the fierce flames reported, there were no injuries sustained during the fire. The report emphasized that no one was harmed as a result of the fire.
