The firefighters were able to put out the flames, but they declared the building unsafe with a red sticker. The elderly homeowner, who was alerted by her dog, was helped out of the house by a neighbor who also saved her pet. Her son will take care of her while she looks for a new place to live. The woman’s other son, who sometimes stays in a structure behind the house, is missing, and the family is concerned about him. The cause of the fire is unknown, and there were no reported injuries. The firefighters left the scene after extinguishing the fire.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday morning, around 3 a.m., in the East First Court and 34th Street area of Hialeah. Emergency crews quickly responded to the scene to extinguish the blaze, which had spread from a nearby shed to the woman’s home. The cause of the fire is yet to be determined, and officials are investigating the incident.

The elderly homeowner was fortunate to be alerted to the danger by her dog’s barking, and a neighbor was able to help her out of the burning building, along with her beloved pet. However, the house has been deemed unsafe for occupation, and the woman is currently displaced, with her son stepping in to offer her a place to stay temporarily.
