LAUDERHILL, Fla. – Smoke billowed out of a home on Wednesday during a fire that killed a Chihuahua and left several injured in Lauderhill.
Bryan Robinson said he ran towards the home after he saw a young man screaming out for help. He said he used a hose to try to help extinguish the fire.
Firefighters responded to the home at 4831 NW 17th Ct., where a neighbor said he saw the flames spread from a shed to the back of the home.
According to Lauderhill Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Jeff Levy, LFR personnel treated one of the people injured outside of the home and took the other two people to Broward Health Medical Center.
Levy, a spokesman for the Lauderhill Fire-Rescue Department, said another dog that was in the home vanished. Authorities reported finding the dog about an hour later and said the home was not safe.
The family created a GoFundMe page to help them replace everything they lost, which can be visited by clicking here.
