An apparent tornado touched down earlier this evening near Las Olas and the Intracoastal. There have been no reports of injuries so far. Fort Lauderdale Fire crews are assessing the damage, which appears to be minor. The public should be cautious of any debris and downed power lines in the area. @ftlauderdalepd @FLFR411 @playlauderdale

Great job to the crews of Station 43 for helping rescue an individual who was stuck in their attic for hours. Crews were able to free the weak patient and safely lower him back through the attic door. The patient was transported to the hospital for further evaluation.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office would like to remind everyone to stay vigilant. So often, we see something that is out of the ordinary in school, a public place, our neighborhoods, etc. but is unaware of how to report it. If you see something, say something. #reportcrime

This past January, Travis Pastrana was seriously injured while filming a movie in our city. After a successful recovery, he returned today to complete that film. Being a true gentleman, he first took time to meet the crew that saved his life just 6 months ago. #firefighter
