In a dramatic incident on Friday morning, two cars ignited in flames outside a home on the 1800 block of Ferdinand Street in Coral Gables, reportedly due to a fallen power line.
Fire rescue teams immediately responded to the scene after reports emerged of the vehicles burning in the driveway of the residence. The blaze, which was captured by aerial footage from Chopper 6, revealed the extent of the fire as it engulfed both cars.
Officials have indicated that the fire was sparked when a power line unexpectedly descended onto the vehicles. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the incident, although the cars appear to have been severely damaged before the fire was brought under control.
Local fire crews worked diligently to extinguish the flames and secure the area. Their quick response ensured that no further damage occurred to the surrounding properties and no residents were harmed.
Currently, the precise cause of the power line’s fall remains unknown, with authorities continuing to investigate the circumstances that led to this unforeseen event.
While the incident thankfully resulted in no injuries, it underscores potential risks associated with fallen power lines. Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the cause of the power line failure.
