Responding to a reported house fire in the 1900 block of Bayview Drive on Sunday, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue found the fire was burning close to two propane tanks, one of which was damaged.

Firefighters sprayed water on the tanks to cool them, and the hazmat team burned off the gas to mitigate any hazards, said Public Information Officer Frank Guzman via text.

Smoke was coming from the fire, which was outside and didn't reach the house, Guzman said. No one was injured and there was no damage inside the home.

An investigator was working to determine the cause of the fire, which was reported just after 10 a.m. Sunday.
