Miami firefighters extinguished a large fire that erupted early Monday morning at a commercial building that is under construction in Coconut Grove.
The fire broke out around 3 a.m. at the building off Commodore Place.
Miami Fire Rescue officials said the flames started in the back of the property, which posed a lot of challenges for firefighters.
“Our firefighters made entry into the structure from the front of the property, but they found challenges because there’s a lot of uneven terrain, a lot of debris inside of there,” Lt. Pete Sanchez said.
Two ladder trucks and firefighters on the ground took about an hour to extinguish the flames.
No injuries were reported.
This pocket of the Grove is highly trafficked and there are several restaurants and shops in the area.
