The fire broke out at around a 8:14 a.m. at 12230 SW 50th Pl. The fire spread and arriving rescue units observed flames showing on three sides of the townhouse.
Two adults and four children escaped the blaze; a boy was taken to Memorial Wets and is in good condition. A pet dog died in the fire.
An adjoining townhouse suffered smoke damage and a total of six others were evacuated.
Traffic around the area has also been rerouted.
By late morning, the Red Cross had responded to help the family, whose home has been declared uninhabitable. Smoke reached two other townhouses, which are being vented.
