Davie police, fire rescue and the Life Safety Division Fire Investigator, along with the State Fire Marshal, have been requested to assist with the investigation.

NBC6 is working to learn more about what could have caused the blaze.

This was one of two fires that happened in Broward County on Tuesday. In Fort Lauderdale, four people and a pet python were displaced when their house went up in smoke.
