Nearly 50 firefighters were dispatched to a massive barn fire in Parkland, where one firefighter was later transported to a hospital after showing signs of heat exhaustion. The firefighter is expected to be OK.
The incident happened at around 5 a.m. Monday, when units received a call concerning a barn and guest house fire.
Aerial video from 7Skyforce showed flames engulfing the structure located along the 7300 block of Northwest 82nd Terrace.
A neighbor was the first one to notice the flames and called 911.
“I called 911 and then I tried to call my neighbor across the street and they didn’t answer. So I ran over there and I knocked, I rang the doorbell, I was banging on windows and I finally got them up and I got them out of the house because I know how close their barn is to their house and I was afraid that their house would go up also,” said Maxine Gutman.
