Hollywood Apartment Fire: What We Know So Far
Two people were hospitalized after a third-alarm fire at a high-rise apartment building in Hollywood, according to CBS Miami. That is the most significant new development in the available reporting, while a separate Hollywood business fire was extinguished with no injuries reported at the time, according to CBS Miami.
In that separate business fire, crews were dispatched about 8:47 p.m. to the 2100 block of Collins Court and found an active working fire on arrival, according to CBS Miami. Fire authorities said the blaze was extinguished and crews remained on scene for overhaul and to make sure the area was safe, according to CBS Miami. The cause remains under investigation, according to CBS Miami.
The reporting does not confirm road closures or traffic impacts.
The emergency response level suggests a sizable fire operation, with a third-alarm designation indicating multiple units were needed for the apartment-building fire, according to CBS Miami. For the business fire, crews were still working through overhaul after knockdown, which typically means firefighters are checking for hidden hot spots and confirming the structure is secure, according to CBS Miami.
Dispatch records show 418 similar structure fire incidents in Hollywood over the past six months.
What happens next will depend on updates from fire officials and investigators, including any word on the hospitalized victims, the condition of the buildings, and whether investigators identify a cause in the business fire, according to CBS Miami.
