A business in West Little River went up in flames on Monday evening, sending at least two people to the hospital.

Shortly after 5 p.m., more than 15 Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units responded to the fire near Northwest 94th Street and Northwest 17th Avenue. One of the injured people, MDFR told the Miami Herald, was transported to a nearby hospital for possible smoke inhalation-related issues. It’s unclear if the second person was injured or dealing with possible smoke inhalation-related issues.

Firefighters were able to subdue the blaze, which spread to a neighboring structure that Channel 7 reports was a car.
