Fire Destroys Home; Two Firefighters Injured

July 2, 2016

Fire destroyed a home on Deedra Avenue off 10 Mile Road Saturday morning, and two firefighters were injured.

One firefighter was reportedly transported to the hospital with a possible back injury; another was taken to urgent care for treatment of minor injuries. All of the occupants in the home escaped without injury.

Two adults and three children were left homeless by the fire. Firefighters did save the family pet, a gerbil, from fire.

The exact cause of the fire is under investigation by the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.
