Firefighters and deputies rushed to a vehicle fire that possibly spread to nearby trailer homes in Redland on Thursday afternoon, officials say. Neighbors tell the Miami Herald it might have been arson started from a lovers\u2019 quarrel.<\/p>\n

Around 3:10 p.m., about a dozen Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units were sent to a 911 call about a vehicle fire in the area of Southwest 152nd Street and 202nd Avenue, fire rescue said.<\/p>\n

The blaze appears to have started from a pickup truck on a plot of land that has several cars and trailer homes. The fire has since been put out.<\/p>\n

Fire Rescue did not immediately respond with information about the incident or any possible injuries.<\/p>\n

A neighbor, who did not wish to be named but lives on the property next door, told the Herald the fire was started by a man who is squatting on the land. He lit the truck on fire after an argument with a woman he had been seeing romantically and who also stays on the property.<\/p>\n

The Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office did not immediately say if it is investigating the fire as arson or if it is looking for any suspects.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story.<\/p>\n
