Bomb threat forces evacuation at Miramar NBC6, Telemundo 51 building
A 911 bomb threat emptied the Miramar home of NBC6 and Telemundo 51 on Friday, halting morning broadcasts until police and fire crews cleared the building.
A bomb threat forced the evacuation of the shared NBC6 and Telemundo 51 building in Miramar on Friday morning, shutting down live broadcasts until authorities finished a sweep and gave the all-clear. NBC6 said the call came in as a 911 report of a suspected explosive device, which immediately triggered standard safety protocols at the South Florida news hub.
Miramar Police, the Miramar Fire Department and specialized personnel inspected the building after the evacuation. Once that search was completed, officials declared the property safe and authorized staff to return to work. NBC6 said there were no reported injuries.
The disruption landed at a sensitive time for the newsroom, interrupting morning programming and forcing employees out of the building while emergency crews checked the site. NBC6 later thanked viewers for their understanding and patience as operations resumed. Telemundo 51 also reported that the threat was later ruled out by authorities, matching the same basic account in Spanish.
For Broward County, the incident was a reminder that a threat does not have to be real to create immediate disruption. A false alarm still pulls police, firefighters and specialized personnel away from other duties, while staff members, anchors and production crews lose broadcast time and businesses tied to the building are left waiting for clearance. In a county where media, public safety and municipal response often overlap, the speed of the evacuation and inspection showed how quickly local emergency systems move when a suspected device is reported.
The Miramar response also fit a pattern seen elsewhere in the city. On May 3, 2026, WSVN reported that a Walmart in Miramar was evacuated after a bomb threat that was later determined to be a hoax. The two incidents underline how even unfounded calls can trigger immediate evacuations and a full law-enforcement response, with officials treating every report as credible until the building has been checked and cleared.
