Firefighting Operations at Hoarder House with Attic Fire Risk

Summary: Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue units responded to a structure fire at a residence identified as a hoarder house. Crews initially attempted access from the Charlie side (rear, by the pool) but encountered heavy debris, prompting a shift to the Alpha side. Communication between command and crews focused on ventilation, safety, and the need to check for fire extension into the attic, particularly at the Bravo Charlie corner. Firefighters coordinated entry, ventilation fan use, and relief for crews in rehab. The presence of fire in the attic was confirmed, and additional resources were requested to assist with overhaul and ensure the fire was fully extinguished.
