Firefighters were battling a warehouse blaze in Doral on Tuesday afternoon, and Miami-Dade officials said the building was evacuated as crews worked to extinguish the flames. Officials did not immediately release details on the cause of the fire or whether anyone was injured, and the situation was still unfolding.
According to CBS News Miami, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed that crews were on scene and that the warehouse had been cleared of occupants while firefighters focused on knocking down the flames. The brief update, posted Tuesday afternoon, noted that no additional information was available as emergency units remained at the location.
County has seen major warehouse blazes this year
As Local 10 reported in March, a massive northwest Miami-Dade warehouse fire mobilized more than 200 firefighters and prompted air-quality monitoring while crews battled flames for days. That earlier incident highlighted how quickly fires at large storage facilities can escalate when buildings store chemicals, propane or other combustible materials.
What investigators will look for
Fire investigators are expected to examine the scene and the warehouse's contents before determining a cause, a process that typically takes time once the flames are fully out and the structure is safe to enter. Any official updates, including information on injuries or closures, are expected from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
