MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - Two people are dead after a fire broke out in a Miami Gardens home, officials said.

7News cameras captured the flames engulfing the home located along the 2000 block of Northwest 185th Terrace, just after 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crews blocked off the area and battled the blaze from all angles.

Firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby structures.

According to Miami Gardens Police, resident Tamonjan Williams woke up to a loud explosion and discovered the fire blazing in the backyard. After failing to locate his aunt and uncle, he called 911.

Williams later spoke with 7News.

“I’ve been calling and calling and calling, you know, looking and calling for them, and I looked in the backyard; I didn’t see them,” he said. “I came out so, and I’m, like, looking around, looking around, still didn’t see anyone, so I said, ‘Let me try and call, let me call 911.'”

Neighbors said they were shaken out of their beds by the sounds of loud explosions.

Neighbor Vanessa Wilcox told 7News she heard the loud explosion. She was seen using a hose to attempt to put out parts of the fire that came into her home.

“I just heard a booming sound. Like, it was a bomb that went off, real loud, and then it was a small sound,” she said, “and I’m, like, saying, ‘What’s that? What’s that? And my daughter-in-law is saying, ‘Is something happening in the back?’ So I ran and looked out the side of the glass door and saw the fire. Oh, my God.”

Williams said he knew he had to get out of the house.

“I grabbed the door again and the door opened. When I opened the door, the security door was off the house hanging,” said Williams. “I’m just still like disbelief. My mind is like, I don’t know what to say.”

Investigators said Williams’ aunt, 65-year-old Rhonda Spencer, and uncle, 59-year-old Timothy Fordham, would not survive the flames.

Firefighters found the couple’s remains inside the home.

“When Miami-Dade Fire extinguished the fire, they discovered two individuals inside the home,” said Miami Gardens Police spokesperson Diana Delgado.

According to a family member, the woman was in her 60s, and the couple had been together for 20 years.

Spencer’s sister said she was shocked at what occurred.

“It’s my oldest sister. I don’t know, I just got here,” she said. “Please hug your family. My sister was so important to my family. She was a great person, a hard worker, Christian woman, everybody has great things to say about my sister.”

People were seen emotional and embracing one another.

“I just seems like it’s unreal, so sorry,” said Fordham’s brother, Marvin Jones, as he teared up. “He was always there for me.”

7Skyforce hovered over the scene, where the house was nearly burned to the ground and its roof collapsed. Crews were also seen monitoring the smoldering home for hotspots.

The smell of propane was reportedly noticed in the back of the house.

Medical examiners removed the bodies of the victims on Wednesday afternoon.

Now, family members want to know how this happened.

“That’s all we want to know. What happened? What’s going on? And we trust the officers to investigate,” said Jones.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
