MIAMI (WSVN) - Two cats have died, and several birds are missing after an elderly woman’s duplex erupted into flames in Miami.
Miami Fire Rescue was dispatched to the duplex located along Eighth Street and Southwest 14th Avenue Monday night.
The elderly woman was seen yelling for “help” from a balcony. She was eventually rescued by firefighters.
The woman was taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.
