Overview
- A fast‑growing fire broke out at a warehouse on North Dixie Highway and Northwest 15th Street on Saturday and burned for hours before crews extinguished it.
- Pompano Beach Fire Rescue and mutual‑aid units escalated the response to a multi‑alarm effort that the battalion chief said involved more than 30 units working to locate a deep‑seated fire load.
- No civilians or firefighters were reported injured, but officials described the interior damage as a near total loss and several tenants said stored merchandise was destroyed.
- The building sits roughly 100 yards from single‑family homes and apartments, and crews remained on scene overnight to prevent spread and watch for rekindling.
- A fire inspector and investigators are on site to determine the origin and cause, and the city has boarded up bays and deemed the structure unsafe as business owners assess heavy losses.
