It took firefighters over an hour and a half to get Saturday’s structure fire under control. Crews were on scene for hours afterwords putting out the massive fire.

 

According to PCFR, the fire did not spread to other buildings and no injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. 

If this story sounds familiar, it should. Back in 2016 a similar incident occurred when one of the same type of buildings at Saddlebrook also burned, causing students staying in them to flee to escape.
