A quiet Delray Beach block turned into a smoky scene on Tuesday afternoon when flames tore through a single-family home on Lone Pine Road, sending thick plumes of smoke into the sky and drawing a heavy fire-rescue response. Neighbors and passing drivers pulled out their phones to record as firefighters moved quickly to keep the blaze from jumping to nearby houses.
What officials reported
According to WPEC, Delray Beach Fire Rescue said the fire broke out on Lone Pine Road and, with help from Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, crews “battled the blaze for most of the afternoon.” Units stayed on scene into the evening as firefighters worked to fully secure the area and make sure hot spots were out.
