SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE (CBS4) – A Michaels craft store in Kendall is closed for business after a fire ripped through the building Wednesday afternoon.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the store on Kendall Drive and Southwest 122 Avenue and found smoke pouring out of the building.

“First, we would like to thank the Miami-Dade fire department for its quick response to the fire at the West Kendall Center Michaels.
