A Miami-Dade driver crashed into a storage unit building sparking a fire that damaged nearly two dozen units on Saturday.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to a call at a Public Storage building in Miami Gardens just before 11:30PM Saturday night.
Investigators say a white Dodge crashed into the front of the building, causing a fire that spread to multiple units in the building; damaging at least 20 storage units.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief Rogelio Vandamas told 7 News "since the units were full of stuff, the fire spread to multiple units in the building. It was a two alarm fire, not necessarily because we had such a big fire, but it was manpower intensive to locate the hotspots. Since there was so much stuff inside the storage units, we needed lots of people in order to pull that stuff out and find all those small little fires that pop up.”
The driver of the vehicle took off on foot after the crash. The car that sparked the fire was towed away.
No injuries were reported. The incident remains under investigation.
