HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - Crews battled fierce flames after a fire broke out overnight at an apartment building in Hollywood.

Hollywood Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of the one-alarm blaze at a two-story building along the 5900 block of Funston Street, at around 5 a.m. on Wednesday.

Crews arrived to find a second-floor unit on fire. They were able to knock down the flames.

Firefighters determined the apartment to be unoccupied, but one person was taken to an area hospital by ambulance.

7 Drone Force later showed the exterior of the charred unit covered in soot.

It remains unclear whether or not anyone in adjacent units has been displaced as a result of water damage.

A Florida Power & Light crew has responded, and a fire inspector is attempting to determine the cause.
