At approximately 8:18 a.m. on Feb. 12, 2025, the Tallahassee Fire Department (TFD) responded to a structure fire in the 1400 block of Milton Street. Firefighters arrived on scene in under five minutes to find heavy smoke coming from a two-story residence.

Crews quickly initiated fire suppression efforts while working to protect nearby structures. Upon entering the home, firefighters encountered heavy fire conditions and conducted a thorough search, confirming that no occupants were inside.

The State Fire Marshal's Office was called to the scene, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

TFD reminds residents to remain vigilant and proactive in fire prevention measures, including the installation of smoke alarms.
