DANIA BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - The Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded to a residential structure fire in a Dania Beach neighborhood.
The incident unfolded shortly before 9:30 a.m. Monday when authorities received a call reporting a fire at 41 SW 7th Ave. First responders from the Broward Sheriff’s Office were on the scene and immediately noticed thick plumes of heavy-black smoke emanating from the rear of a small single-family home.
