Tattoo Shop Catches Fire from Electrical Short
Investigators are looking into the cause of a fire that broke out Tuesday just before 6:00 a.m. at a tattoo shop in a strip mall located along Northeast 125th Street and Seventh Avenue. According to investigators with the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Battalion, the fire started in the tattoo shop as a result of an electrical short.
Fire crews were called to the scene and had the fire under control in about an hour.
Other surrounding businesses, including a MetroPCS and a furniture store, sustained smoke damage from the blaze.
Whenever a fire breaks out, catastrophic destruction and serious personal injury can result. Because a fire can cause loss of property as well as jobs and livelihoods, recovering after your home or business has suffered a fire can be both devastating and time consuming. Generally, a fire can happen for any number of reasons such as:
Electrical wiring that is faulty or frayed
- Defective appliances or equipment
- Chemical reactions from solvents and cleaners
- A natural gas or propane leak
- Arson
- Flammable objects too close to heat sources.
- Negligence with flames, candles, lighters, cigarettes or barbeque grills
If you have been injured in a fire, it can take weeks or even months to heal from the injuries. Rehabilitation and physical therapy as well as constructive surgery may also be needed before there is a complete recovery. The expenses surrounding such care can add up and become overwhelming very quickly.
