House fire reported in Coral Springs may have started outside home

Crews with the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department responded early Wednesday afternoon to a report of a house fire in the Ramblewood neighborhood.

The call came in between 12:30 and 1 p.m. in the 9200 block of Northwest 17th Street, Capt. Richard Antonini told the Coral Springs News.

The residents were home at the time and found the fire in one of the back bedrooms after it possibly originated from outside and worked its way inside, Antonini said.

A neighbor down the street also called in the fire after seeing the smoke.

Crews recused two cats from the home, and a third one ran out, Antonini said. No injuries were reported from either fire rescue or the residents.

While the home, which was built in 1977, was damaged by smoke, the roof didn’t collapse, and crews extinguished the fire quickly, Antonini said.

Fire officials are trying to confirm the origin of the blaze.
