BROOKSVILLE, Fla. — Hernando County Fire Rescue said they rescued nine pets from a house fire in Brooksville on Wednesday afternoon.
HCFR said on July 30, just before 12:30 p.m., firefighters arrived on the scene, where they found heavy smoke and flames coming from the home on Eastside Ave. Crews extinguished the fire, and all occupants were safely evacuated.
Officials said when crews searched the house, they found and rescued six dogs and three cats from inside the home. All animals survived.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. No firefighters were injured.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
