A home in Cooper City was engulfed in flames after a fire broke out in the garage Friday morning, fire officials said.

Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue officials said a witness called 911 to report the fire at the home in the 11500 block of Southwest 53rd Place.

When firefighters arrived, they found heavy flames coming from the garage of the home, which extended into the attic space.

Officials said the garage had a converted bedroom, which made it difficult for firefighters to gain access.

Within about 30 minutes, the fire was extinguished, and crews were wetting down hotspots.

Officials said that it appeared no one was home at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.

The State Fire Marshal will investigate the cause of the fire.
