Pompano Beach, FL (July 31, 2021) – Around 4:45 a.m. on Saturday morning, July 31, a woman was seriously injured in a Pompano Beach apartment fire.
According to Pompano Police, the accident happened at the Palm-Aire Building 23 on Cypress Grove Drive. When neighbors woke up in the morning, they noticed that their building was on fire. Fire crews arrived at the scene and were able to contain the fire to one unit on the top floor of the apartment building, though immense damage was done. Smoke was pouring out of the apartment when they entered.
Paramedics and numerous other first responders were dispatched to the scene. The unit was occupied by an elderly woman, who fire crews helped escape. She was injured and taken to the hospital for treatment. The victim is expected to be okay.
The area was blocked for an extended period of time until fire crews were able to get the fire completely under control.
No further details have been released. The investigation into the accident continues.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family in hopes of a full recovery.
Fires in Florida
Florida experiences more fires than many other states throughout the U.S. Hundreds of lives are lost and thousands are injured in these incidents every single year, which happen in both residential and commercial areas. Though almost all fires can be prevented, they continue to take place every year due to the outright reckless acts of others. It is never easy to face the aftermath of a fire on your own, especially when you believe that it started due to negligent reasons. If you have been hurt in a fire and wonder where you can turn, you should have the dedicated help of an accident attorney on your side.
Being injured in a Florida house fire can impact your life in many ways, leaving you with questions that you may not be able to answer without the help of an attorney. For instance, what deadlines will you be required to meet as you move forward with bringing a claim? What evidence will you need to provide to prove that another party is at fault for your accident? What should you say when you speak with the insurance company for the first time? These are questions that you can answer when you speak with a skilled Florida personal injury attorney.
