Crews continued to battle a massive fire that broke out Thursday morning at a warehouse in northwest Miami-Dade<\/a>, as officials urged residents in the area to stay indoors and close windows to avoid health impacts due to the thick, black smoke.<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade Fire Chief Ray Jadallah said in a press conference Thursday afternoon that the fire broke out at Global Warehouse Solutions, located at 20600 Northwest 47th Avenue.<\/p>\n

He said that when crews arrived to the scene, they encountered the fire and evacuated workers from the warehouse. No injuries have been reported, officials said.<\/p>\n

“The fire quickly escalated to a second, third, and eventually where we’re currently at, at a fifth alarm warehouse fire,” Jadallah said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jadallah described the warehouse as “just over twice the size of a Costco Warehouse,” saying that the sheer amount of materials varies with thousands of items carried inside of the warehouse.<\/p>\n

“The number of personnel that are currently operating on scene is just over 200 Miami-Dade firefighters. Miramar Fire Rescue is also on scene as they responded with the reports of the initial 911 calls of the fire,” Jadallah said.<\/p>\n

He added that other agencies were also responding to the fire, including the Florida Forestry Service, Florida’s Department of Emergency Management, Miami-Dade’s Department of Emergency Management, and the state Fire Marshal, who will lead the investigation on what caused the fire.<\/p>\n

Officials were also monitoring the area to avoid any brush fires. Crews were blatting the flames to avoid impacts to neighboring businesses.<\/p>\n

“This fire continues to burn. There is a possibility of the fire burning for a couple of days as a result of the roof that has collapsed on top of this warehouse,” he said.<\/p>\n

The fire caused road closures; will likely continue to burn\u00a0<\/p>\n

Because of the fire, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office<\/a> said that roads in the area have been closed through into Thursday night to Friday.<\/p>\n

“Due to a fire, Northwest 47th Avenue is closed from Northwest 199th Street to Northwest 215th Street,” the MDSO said in a post on X. “Please avoid the area and seek alternate routes.”<\/p>\n

Roads have also been closed in nearby Miramar because of the blaze.<\/p>\n

According to Miramar police, emergency crews in Miami-Dade requested assistance with traffic diversions as they continue to fight the fire.<\/p>\n

“At this time, Miramar Police has been deployed and is assisting a Miami-Dade unit with blocking the southbound travel lanes of Palm Avenue (two lanes) leading into Miami-Dade County,” police said in a post on X<\/a>. “The southbound U-turn lane is also blocked to prevent potential accidents.”<\/p>\n

Residents worry about the fire spreading, how it might impact their health<\/p>\n

People in the area spoke to CBS News Miami about their concerns as the fire raged nearby. Fire officials said an alert was sent out to homes and businesses within a 5 mile radius of the warehouse fire due to poor air quality as a result of the fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Spanish, a woman spoke to CBS News Miami’s Marybel Rodriguez and told her that she became aware of the situation after receiving a phone call from her husband.<\/p>\n

She said she has a food truck that was stored near the warehouse that has been burning for hours.<\/p>\n

Now, as crews race to extinguish the flames, she said she’s worried that her truck would be lost as the flames continued to advance.<\/p>\n
