FORT LAUDERDALE
A man was in critical condition after he tried to kill himself by setting his house on fire Friday morning, police said.
The fire broke out at about 3 a.m. in the 700 block of Southwest 15 Avenue.
Three police officers were taken to Broward General Medical Center as a precaution after the man said he used unknown chemicals to start the blaze, police spokeswoman Detective Kathy Collins said.
The officers appear to be fine, she said.
Fire Rescue's hazardous materials team investigated the scene for chemicals, but their findings were negative, city spokesman Matt Little said.
Firefighters pulled the unidentified man out of the window, Collins said.
"He told officers, 'I want to kill myself,'" Collins said.
The man suffered smoke inhalation and some burns. He was taken to Broward General.
A large dog died in the fire, which is now out.
Arson investigators are on the scene. However, as of 7 a.m., they were waiting for the structure to cool down before entering.
Collins said the man, described in his 50s, set two fires in the house and also set fire to a vehicle in the driveway.
"He was very determined to burn the house down," Collins said.
At least one neighbor was evacuated as a precaution.
