Key takeaway Fortunately, the apartment was unoccupied and no injuries were reported.
A fire broke out at an apartment building in Hollywood, with crews responding to the scene on Funston Street. The fire was located in a second-floor unit of a two-story building. Fortunately, the apartment was unoccupied and no injuries were reported.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the flames. The exterior of the unit was left charred and covered in soot. It is unclear if adjacent units were affected by water damage, potentially displacing residents.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated by a fire inspector. A Florida Power & Light crew also responded to the scene. For more information on the incident, further details are available from the source.
