Firefighters battled fierce flames after a house caught fire in a Pembroke Pines neighborhood, leading them to rescue two dogs that were stuck inside and leaving the family who lives there displaced.
7SkyForce hovered above the blaze near Southwest 97th Avenue and 12th Court, Wednesday afternoon.
The fire ignited at around 3 p.m. Homeowner Robert Frasca later confirmed it started in the garage.
Frasca’s granddaughter, Ilana Ever, said she came to the home after her grandmother alerted her. “My grandmother starts crying, saying that the house caught on fire, and I ran in the back to grab my aunt, and we showed up,” she said.
Crews concentrated their efforts in the garage, inches away from some expensive antique cars.
“All I saw was half the house was black,” said Ever.
