VIDEO: Firefighters extinguished a blaze that erupted on the side of a home and spread to another house after a storage shed caught fire.
Lauderhill Fire Rescue responded to the area of the 8300 block of Northwest 47th Street on Tuesday afternoon.
Stacey Thompson, whose fiancé owned the home that initially caught fire, told 7News that her stepdaughter was inside the home at the time of the fire.
“She smelled the fire, got the fire extinguisher out, tried to put the fire out, was knocking on the door because she thought people were inside there, she moved the cars away from the house, really proud of her she did good,” said Thompson.
Thompson’s in-laws would come home soon after their trip to Jamaica.
Residents called 911 because a home was on fire and smoke could be seen.
