SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A family who lives in the Olympia Heights neighborhood in Southwest Miami-Dade are picking up the pieces after an overnight fire forced them out of their home.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue quickly responded to the home located along Southwest 40th Terrace around 1:15 a.m. Monday in reference to a kitchen fire.
Crews conducted a thorough search of the house and evacuated all residents.
7News cameras captured a woman being treated outside the home for smoke inhalation, but she did not require transportation. No injuries were reported.
Within a matter of minutes, the fire was brought under control, though fire officials later returned to the residence to contain flare-ups.
“Need help pulling some ceiling pulling some eaves and lets see if we can locate where this fire is coming from, definitely seems like its up in the attic,” radioed a firefighter.
Though the family refused to speak with 7News on camera, they appear to be in good spirits and are receiving support from their neighbors.
