Miami apartment fire causes evacuation, displacing 28 people

A fire forced a building full of people to evacuate in Miami and some will not be able to return home. That fire broke out early Tuesday morning inside of an apartment on the fourth floor of an apartment complex off of 53rd Avenue and Northwest Seventh Street. It took over 80 firefighters and 40 minutes to extinguish the fire. Cell phone video from Miami Fire Rescue early Tuesday captured the aftermath of those flames, the entire apartment reduced to ash and soot. An elderly couple was inside of that apartment at the time of the fire and were taken to the hospital with some smoke inhalation, but are expected to be okay.
