HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Hollywood firefighters extinguished a blaze that erupted early Tuesday morning at a home in Hollywood.
According to Hollywood Fire Rescue officials, the fire was reported at 3:36 a.m. at a home in the 6700 block of Harding Street.
Firefighters said the home was vacant at the time and no injuries were reported.
Local 10 News obtained 911 calls as flames tore through the home.
Steven Llerena, who lives next door, told Local 10 News that he and his family did whatever they could to stop the flames from reaching their home.
“It was crazy because I walked outside and the fire wasn’t that big yet, but something exploded and it started getting bigger and bigger, and then me and my dad were trying to wet the whole backyard, everything, to make sure that our house didn’t catch fire,” he said.
“(It) starting sparking everywhere, and we didn’t know what to do at that point, so we just had to get out,” he added.
His mother, Daire Llerena, got emotional once everything was settled and they were alright on the other side.
“Everything is (in the) past now and I suppose I feel better because I see my house and it’s safe – it’s amazing, it’s a miracle, because I watched the fire come over” she said.
