Sunrise Commercial Fire: What We Know So Far

A commercial building fire in Sunrise was put out by Sunrise Fire Rescue, and officials said no injuries were reported. This is what we know so far.

According to WSVN 7News, CBS News Miami and NBC Miami, the closest matching report in the available search results is a fire at an apartment leasing office in Sunrise, where officials said no one was inside the structure when the fire broke out and the cause remains under investigation.

Chief John McNamara said crews made a fast interior attack that limited the damage. “Units made a quick attack inside the structure and saved a lot of the building; it almost had extended into the roof,” he said, according to the reports.

The news reports say there were no injuries or fatalities in the matched fire. Officials have not released a cause, and the investigation is ongoing, according to the same reports and the City of Sunrise Fire Rescue.

The response was handled by Sunrise Fire Rescue, suggesting a working commercial-structure fire that prompted an interior attack rather than a prolonged defensive operation. The rapid knockdown described by McNamara indicates crews were able to get ahead of the fire before it spread through the roof structure.

Dispatch records show there have been 263 similar structure-fire incidents in Sunrise over the past six months. Other Sunrise fire reports in the search results involve different addresses and separate incidents, including an apartment fire with no serious injuries and a house fire that displaced four people.

Officials have not released further details about the cause or whether additional updates are expected, but the fire remains under investigation according to the available reports.

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