Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said an explosion on June 15 appeared to have sparked the fire. Officials said one person was killed and four others were injured, including a Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office lieutenant.
The lieutenant and another person were taken to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, while a third victim was transported to another hospital. Police said a fourth victim drove themself to a nearby hospital.
One victim is in critical condition, but all of the injured are stable, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief Ray Jadallah said crews found a destroyed overhang and an active fire burning underground after the explosion. He said firefighters also detected vapor coming from below ground and are investigating whether it originated from a gasoline storage vault.
“From what we see, it may have been a gasoline cell that’s underground,” Jadallah said. “There’s three vaults underground. I believe there may have been some work that was being conducted, but we’re conducting that investigation.”
