An early-morning fire sent a southwest Miami-Dade home up in flames Thursday.
The fire started about 5:45 a.m. at 11377 SW 116th Terrace Road, near the Woodlawn Park Cemetery South between the Don Shula Expressway and Florida's Turnpike.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said the fire started in the back of the home and spread to the residence.
Officials say one person and two cats were able to safely escape the burning home.
