Pembroke Pines House Fire: What We Know So Far

Pembroke Pines fire officials say a residential structure fire was quickly extinguished Thursday evening, and no injuries were reported, according to WSVN and Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue.

According to the reports, the fire broke out in the area of SW 2nd Court and 67th Avenue at about 7:30 p.m. No one was inside the home when the fire started, and the resident has been displaced by damage and property loss. The American Red Cross is assisting the resident, officials said.

Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue said its units responded to the scene and were able to knock down the flames quickly, limiting the spread of the fire, according to the department. Officials have not said what caused the fire, and the incident remains under investigation.

The response appears to have been limited to fire rescue units, based on the available reporting, which suggests crews did not need a prolonged operation at the scene.

What happens next will depend on the fire investigation, which is still underway. Officials have not released a cause, and no additional updates have been announced in the available reporting.
