Crews put out house fires in Miami, North Miami – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports | Fort Lauderdale


NORTH MIAMI, FLA. (WSVN) – The skies opened up across South Florida on Wednesday, but the heavy rainfall did not prevent fires from breaking at homes in North Miami and Miami.

Ten Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of the first house fire near Northwest 130th Street and 10th Avenue in North Miami, just before 9:25 a.m.

Crews arrived to find heavy smoke and flames coming from the south side of the structure.

Firefighters quickly hosed down the flames extinguish the fire. Crews noticed gas cylinders that had ignited due to the fire, so they pulled a second hose line to cool the tanks.

The local utility company was called out to secure a downed power line and the utilities to the home.

At around 3:35 p.m., City of Miami Fire Rescue crews responded to the scene of the second house fire in the area of Southwest 64th Court and Fifth Avenue.

Crews arrived at the scene of the blaze to fond the one-story home with smoke billowing from the rear.

A 7News viewer sent in cellphone video of the smoke and flames.

Firefighters extended hose lines into the rear of the property and found an exterior fire. They also rescued a dog from an efficiency in the rear. All other residents evacuated before crews arrived.

Girl, 12, shot while sitting in parked car in northwest Miami-Dade, deputies say


MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.

“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.

Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.

A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.

They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.

According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.

Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.

“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”

Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.

Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
