MIAMI (AP) — Firefighters are working to extinguish a massive fire at a four-story apartment complex near downtown Miami. First responders arrived at the building just west of Interstate 95 around 9 a.m. Monday. Miami police officials said on the social platform X that they immediately began rescuing people from the building. At least two ladder trucks are assisting with the blaze. News helicopter footage showed flames rising from the building along with large plumes of smoke. The smoke has since drifted over the interstate and much of the downtown area. It was not immediately known whether anyone was injured in the fire.
