The fire was first reported at 3 pm and went to two alarms as the Daytona Beach FD worked to contain the fire to the primary building. The Daytona Beach News-Journal is reporting that a woman told police that she saw a man throw something through a shop window just moments before the fire erupted. Several employees and customers were in the shops when the fire started, but they all were able to get out safely. A resident of a high-rise apt. across the street shot some good video of the fire:
The entire 26,000-sq. ft. building was completely destroyed in less than an hour.
