On March 3, 2025, firefighters in Miami responded to a fire at a building under renovation on NW First Avenue. While battling the flames, which engulfed all three levels of the structure, one firefighter fell through the second floor, leading to a 'Mayday' call and his hospitalization in stable condition. Another firefighter suffered second-degree burns. The fire was brought under control after two hours, and the Miami Fire Investigation Unit is currently looking into the incident's cause and the building's structural integrity.
"About 20 minutes into the operation, one of the firefighters fell through the second floor, prompting a 'Mayday' call, said Sanchez."
"As multiple units worked to put down the flames, other firefighters were checking the building, which is under renovation, for people, Sanchez said."
"The Miami Fire Investigation Unit is looking into the cause of the fire, and the Miami Building Department has been requested to evaluate the structural integrity of the building, said Sanchez."
"His colleagues rescued and took him to the hospital, where, as of Monday night, he was listed in stable condition, according to the department."
