Miami building fire: Man found shot, firefighters rescue residents amid massive blaze

A massive blaze broke out inside a Miami apartment complex where a man was found shot Monday morning, authorities said, leading to multiple rescues and several hospitalizations amid one of the largest fire responses the city has seen in decades.

Authorities first received calls about the blaze at Temple Court Apartments, a four-story building just outside downtown Miami, at 8:15 a.m., Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said an a news conference.

Once at the scene, officials found one person suffering from gunshot wounds inside the building. The unnamed person was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, the mayor said. It's unclear if the shooting is connected with the fire.

At the scene, firefighters began battling the fire as it continued "escalating in intensity," Suarez said, adding that multiple people were rescued, including some residents from their balconies. More than 40 fire department units were deployed to the incident, which Suarez said is the first three-alarm fire Miami has seen in 25 years.
