🚨 HEROIC RESCUE IN THE FLORIDA KEYS 🙏🔥

Two firefighters ran into a burning Stock Island townhome and carried a 12-year-old girl to safety after she became trapped on the third floor as smoke filled the home.

According to Monroe County Fire Rescue, Halle Randolph was alone in her bedroom when the fire broke out downstairs. Crews arrived in about TWO MINUTES and immediately rushed upstairs to find her.

Firefighters carried Halle outside, where paramedics treated her for smoke inhalation before she was transported to a Miami hospital. ❤️‍🩹 Officials say she is in stable condition.

🔥 Crews had the fire under control within about 10 minutes, but the family’s home suffered extensive damage and a neighboring townhome was also affected.

Officials said the fire appeared to have started near a lithium battery charging in the kitchen, although the official cause remains under investigation.

A GoFundMe has also been created to help the Randolph family recover.

🚨 KAYAKER FINDS CO***NE FLOATING IN THE FLORIDA KEYS 😳🌊

Definitely NOT your normal day on the water.

A kayaker discovered a half-kilogram brick of co***ne floating off Summerland Key Monday afternoon, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.

But here’s where it gets interesting… 👀

📦 The package was marked “333,” the same number found on other co***ne packages recently recovered in the Keys. Nearly two weeks earlier, authorities say a full kilogram brick marked “333” was found in the same area.

Officials say markings like these can be used to identify shipments during drug-smuggling operations.

The package was turned over to U.S. Border Patrol.
