House fire in Arcadia kills young teen who ran back inside to save dogs Fire in DeSoto County leaves one dead (Source: DeSoto County) By ABC7 Staff | March 16, 2021 at 3:20 PM EDT - Updated March 16 at 6:20 PM
ARCADIA, Fla. (WWSB/Sun Herald) - A teenage girl was killed in a tragic fire in Arcadia on Tuesday morning after officials say she ran back into the burning home to save her dog. The family did have five dogs total.
At approximately 2:53 a.m., DeSoto County Fire Rescue responded to a house fire on Levsky Avenue in Arcadia.
The house was engulfed in flames. When crews arrived they were advised that there were possibly two people still inside. Upon investigation, crews found a 13-year-old female who was next to the family dog. Neither the teen nor the dog survived.
When CenturyLink (recently rebranded as Lumen) was asked whether it will use any of the funds to develop broadband in DeSoto County, Lumen’s East Public Relations Manager Danielle Spears responded via email.
“As a disciplined company, we only pursued Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) obligations where we could deliver great broadband service economically,” Spears wrote. “We look forward to using fiber to deliver gigabit service to many currently unserved households across America via RDOF. We continue to focus on delivering the services our customers want across our world-class network.”
Spears went on to write that the company will not receive any of the funds until 2022, and she shared a map created by Cooperative Network Services that indicates the locations in Florida where CenturyLink plans to develop rural broadband. She said that the FCC’s auction rule against prohibited communications remains in effect, so Lumen was unable comment further.
