According to City of Miami Fire-Rescue Lt. Pete Sanchez, the fire was reported at 9:43 a.m. at a single-story home in the area of Northwest 67^th Court and Second Street.

Sky 10 was above the scene just after 10:15 a.m. It appeared that there was smoke damage to an efficiency in the rear of the home.

Sanchez confirmed that the fire started outside and extended to the property.

He said firefighters quickly extinguished the flames and searched the home for anyone who might have still been inside.

“The fire was mainly contained to the exterior wall of the home, but some fire extended into the ceiling and bathroom,” Sanchez said in an email to Local 10 News.
