Crews have put out a fire that broke out in an RV before it spread to a house in Northwest Miami-Dade, officials said.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the scene of the blaze along Northwest 17th Place, off 122nd Street, at around 4:30 a.m. on Friday.

Cameras captured the property fully engulfed, as bright orange flames shot into the air, prompting an intense firefight.

Speaking with 7News hours later, Ellison Diaz said he lived in the home with his grandparents, and he woke up to the sounds of screams and the fire ripping through their home.

“I looked through my window, and that’s where I saw fire everywhere,” he said. “Obviously, I tried to grab a water hose, extension, and started spraying water everywhere, but honestly, [the flames] just started spreading more, and I just got crazy.”

Within moments, dozens of firefighters filled the neighborhood and cordoned off several streets so fire trucks could move in.

Officials said everyone made it out safely, and no one was hurt. Crews were able to knock down the flames in about an hour and a half.
