A massive warehouse fire in Miami Gardens has over 100 firefighters responding to the scene.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said some of its units arrived at the 20600 block of Northwest 47th Avenue at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday to find heavy smoke and flames.
Because of M-DFR鈥檚 need for additional units, the incident has been upgraded to a Fifth-Alarm fire. Miramar Fire Rescue is also assisting.
鈥溾�奆rom the arrival of the initial companies, the fire had already taken possession of the entire building, making it too dangerous for us to go inside,鈥� said Danny Cardeso, M-DFR Deputy Fire Chief. 鈥淪o we're operating from the exterior again, trying to control the fire and keep it from spreading.鈥�
According to emergency response officials, no injuries have been reported.
Because of the fire, the surrounding areas are experiencing smoky conditions. M-DFR officials are recommending those with respiratory issues stay indoors, and to keep windows and doors closed while running the A/C.
