DEERFIELD BEACH -- Two
Deerfield Beach residents lost their condominium to a fire
when power was restored after Hurricane Irma on Tuesday
afternoon, officials said.
Just south of the Palm Beach County-line, Broward County
Fire Rescue crews responded to a call for a fire at 4:21
p.m. on the 600 block of Northwest 47th Street, just south
of Hillsboro Boulevard between Military Trail. Firefighters
were able to control the fire and stop the flames from
spreading to any other residences.
No one was injured but Broward County Fire Rescue Spokesman
Mike Jachles said the house was “completely gutted” due to
the fire.
Jachles said the man and woman who live at the condo lost
power during Hurricane Irma and went out for a swim Tuesday.
While they were out, their power was restored. Jachles said
investigators traced the fire back to the stove in the
kitchen. |
