The Cleveland Clinic facility in Weston has been evacuated after a reported explosion and fire Friday afternoon.

No injuries were reported. The city of Weston tweeted just after 1:30 p.m. that the blaze, which began on a roof adjacent to the clinic’s neurological center — due to open later this month — had been extinguished.

“It was a very impressive fire. You could see it from miles away on the interstate,” said Mike Jachles, spokesman for the Broward Sheriff’s Office. The fire was contained in about 25 minutes.

5. A friend was in the adjacent building when it happened. Loud boom. Shook the building.

I tried to post the picture she took, but it wouldn't post to DU.

6. I'm relieved that the building was unoccupied

here's hoping the cause was construction related.
