Two people have died after a house went up in flames in Miami Gardens early Wednesday, police said.
Video shows the inferno that broke out at around 3:35 a.m. at the home near Northwest 19th Avenue and 185th Terrace, along with several first responders in the neighborhood a few blocks from Hard Rock Stadium.
“One resident reported waking to a loud explosion, discovering the fire, and calling 911 after failing to locate his aunt and uncle,” Miami Gardens Police said in a statement.
When first responders arrived, they found the home “full engulfed in flames,” and two people dead inside the house.
The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing. The identities of the people who died haven’t been released, but Tamonjamin Williams, who escaped from a separate living area in the back, identified them as his aunt Ronda Spencer-Fordham and his uncle Tim Fordham.
Thick smoke lingered in the air as firefighters worked the scene throughout the morning. Footage showed the home virtually gutted by the fire. Some walls still stood, but nearly everything inside appeared burned to ash.
