As of 20:22 EST, units from multiple agencies are actively engaged at the scene. Broward County Fire Rescue (BCFR) has been dispatched, indicating the incident has escalated beyond a typical local call, likely requiring additional resources or specialized equipment. Further assistance has been called in from Plantation Fire Department (PFD), which is providing mutual aid.
