On Thursday, multiple local fire departments were called to the scene of a fire at the Publix on University and Ramblewood Drive, which is under renovation.

The fire, reported by a construction crew at 12:30 pm, was caused by a large tar kettle overheating, resulting in the release of gas from several of its propane tanks.

Coral Springs-Parkland Fire spokesperson, Mike Moser, stated that upon arrival, firefighters discovered heavy smoke and fire on the north side of the building. Margate Fire and the Broward Sheriff’s Office Hazmat responded to the scene, and BSO is burning off the contents of the tanks to remove any remaining gas and ensure the area’s safety.
