A fire reported at a Pompano Beach building drew a response from Broward Sheriff’s Office and Pompano Beach Fire-Rescue on Tuesday morning, and that is what officials have confirmed so far. The available reporting does not verify that the fire matches the incident reported at 140 SE 12th Ct.

According to CBS Miami, officials with the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Pompano Beach Fire-Rescue responded to reports of a fire inside an apartment building. Similar coverage from WSVN and NBC Miami says investigators were on scene examining damage and that the cause remained under investigation.

No confirmed injuries or deaths have been reported in the available sources tied to the queried address, and none of the reports identify a suspect, according to the outlets reviewed. The reporting also does not confirm a cause for the fire at 140 SE 12th Ct.

The response included both law enforcement and fire crews, which indicates a working emergency with investigators involved after the initial suppression effort. In similar Pompano Beach fire coverage, city officials said fire investigators were still determining what sparked the blaze, and the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office was involved in at least one related investigation, according to the reports.

Related reports also mention displaced residents and temporary housing assistance in other Pompano Beach fire cases, but those incidents involved different addresses.
