Lauderdale Lakes Brush Fire: What We Know So Far

No real-time reporting was found for the reported brush fire at 3600 NW 21st St in Lauderdale Lakes, but officials and news outlets did document a separate wildfire in western Broward County that was burning nearby areas and drawing a large response.

According to Local 10 News, the western Broward fire near Okeechobee Road and Krome Avenue had burned about 4,800 acres by 5 p.m. Sunday. A later update reported the fire had grown to about 11,090 acres and was 60% contained, though that reporting did not tie the fire to the Lauderdale Lakes address.

Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue said in a Facebook post that the Florida Forest Service was continuing containment operations and that residents should expect a heavy presence of helicopters and emergency personnel. CBS News Miami reported officials said there was no imminent threat to the Holly Lake community from that separate fire.

No road closures or traffic impacts were found for the Lauderdale Lakes address. The only closure mentioned in the search results was Card Sound Road, which was temporarily closed for a separate 172nd Avenue Fire in south Miami-Dade and later reopened.

Dispatch records show prior incidents at this address on May 20 and May 16, both listed as other calls.

At this stage, no investigation status was found for the Lauderdale Lakes brush fire. Available reporting focuses on monitoring and containment operations for separate fires in Broward and Miami-Dade counties.

Day.News will continue to update this story as officials release more information.
