Fires In The Grove

I heard one alarm at around 1:30 AM. Then I heard a second alarm a few minutes later, so I went to look and could see smoke and the glow of fire in the direction of the center of town. I walked down toward the Ice Palace. Guests were evacuated and standing outside on Ocean Walk. I walked around and stood by the Island Breeze and watched our fire department volunteers pour water on the fire at the Hotel. Later I learned from a fire fighter that there were two separate fires...the first in a trash can on Gerard Walk, and the second at the Hotel.
