WEST PARK, FLA. (WSVN) - A fire broke out in a single-family home in West Park, displacing a family of three.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of the blaze along the 3400 block of Southwest 32nd Court, at around 4 a.m. on Thursday.
First responders arrived to find smoke rising from the front of the residence and the family of three safely standing outside waiting for assistance, officials said.
A total of 30 firefighters were involved in the response. They began to battle the flames and the smoke and conducted a thorough search of the home.
Officials said the source of the fire was located in a bedroom and was quickly extinguished. The flames were contained to the bedroom.
A preliminary investigation indicates that the fire may have been accidentally caused by one of the residents.
Despite firefighters bringing the fire under control rather quickly, the roof of the home and a bedroom window sustained damage, and the property sustained a significant amount of secondary smoke damage.
No one was hurt.
Volunteers with the American Red Cross are helping the displaced family as they navigate the aftermath of this fire.
