MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Authorities responded to a southwest Miami-Dade home that they say caught fire Tuesday morning.

Sky 10 flew over the home around 11:45 a.m. near the 1800 block of Southwest 82nd Street in the county’s Westchester area as 50 fire crews worked to extinguish the blaze, which appeared to have started in the backyard.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke and flames coming from a “single-family home.”

Officials said the incident was upgraded to a “first alarm” before crews extinguished the fire. A patio screen and damaged solar panels were visible at the scene.

They said the homeowners along with their children were able to escape. No injuries have been reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
