A male occupant of the home at the time of the fire told fire investigators from the Pembroke Pines Fire Department that clothing that was being ironed caught fire and quickly spread to other contents within the home’s northeast bedroom. Someone at the home attempted to put the fire out with a garden while neighbors were calling 911

The cause of the blaze was ruled accidental and there were no reported injuries.
