“The call was upgraded to a second alarm for additional man power.. Due to a partial collapse, units switched to a defensive attack, and are still working to extinguish the fire.”

The house near Ponce and Davis roads in South Miami-Dade is shown on camera being consumed by flames. Parts of the house have been demolished, according to a report.
