Davie Fire Leaves 1 Dead After Rural Building Burns: What We Know So Far

A structure fire at a rural Davie property left one person dead, and investigators are now working to determine what sparked the blaze, according to Local 10 News.

Officials said the fire broke out around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and destroyed a very small residential building just behind the tree line on the property, according to Local 10 News. Fire crews knocked down the heaviest flames before searching the site and finding the victim, the report said.

The person who died has not been publicly identified. Authorities also said it remains unclear how many people were living in the building at the time of the fire, according to Local 10 News.

The State Fire Marshal has been called in to help determine the cause, and as of the latest report, the exact cause remained undetermined, according to Local 10 News. No suspect information was reported in the coverage found.

Emergency crews responded to the rural property after the structure fire was reported, and the presence of the State Fire Marshal indicates the investigation is active and may involve a full fire scene review to determine origin and cause.

Dispatch records show 124 similar structure fire incidents in Davie over the past six months.

What happens next is expected to hinge on the fire marshal’s findings and any additional information released by local authorities, including the victim’s identity and whether anyone else may have been in the building.
