VIDEO: At least six families have been displaced from their homes after a fire sparked at an apartment building in Northeast Miami-Dade.
A total of 27 people, 14 of them children, will have to find a place to stay following a Wednesday afternoon fire along the 15000 block of Northeast Sixth Avenue.
“We heard the alarm go off right there,” resident Daniel Molina said. “All we need to do is get the dog and step out, but everybody had to rush out. It’s bad, but life happens sometimes, and you just got to get up and go.”
Molina, his wife, five boys, including a newborn, and the family dog were forced to evacuate and are OK. The family believes their apartment is OK, as well, because they were well below where the two-alarm fire broke out.
