More than 15 MIami-Dade Fire Rescue units respond to warehouse fire in Opa-Locka

More than 15 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded Monday afternoon to a warehouse fire in Opa-Locka.Emergency crews were dispatched just before 2 p.m. to the unoccupied facility at 13990 N.W. 20th Court. Upon arrival, firefighters forced entry into the building after finding significant fire conditions inside.An initial attack involving 16 units brought the fire under control. Due to windy conditions, officials called a second alarm to prevent the flames from spreading to neighboring structures."We never want to take any chances given the windy conditions that can make a fire attack challenging with a full alarm," Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Battalion Chief John Meic said. "This involved a 2nd alarm, and we did what we could to keep it from spreading."Meic reported no injuries to firefighters or civilians. He noted the warehouse was used for general storage and housed hazardous materials, including acetylene and propane tanks. A fire investigator is on scene working to determine the cause
