Original Story:

San Carlos Park firefighters put out a house fire on Seville Rd. on Tuesday morning.

It started just after 7 am.

"I saw a whole bunch of ambulances and police cars, and news stations, and I was like, 'Oh, it must be very bad," said neighbor Kiahna Heffron.

Heffron said her neighbor called her up when all the commotion started. She told Scott when she came outside, she just hoped everyone in the duplex was OK.

"Every time I would pass by to walk my dog, they would say "Hi" to me, or just neighborly things I guess."

A Fox 4 crew saw firefighters console a woman as she watched the fire burn.
