DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A three-story Daytona Beach hotel was evacuated early Friday because of a fire that caused the roof to collapse after it reignited.
The Bayview Hotel at 124 Orange Ave. was evacuated around 4:55 a.m. after a fire broke out in a boiler room, Daytona Beach fire officials said.
Myron White, who lives in the building, said he knocked on room doors to warn people to get out.
Resident Philip Shade said he woke up to the smell of smoke.
"I smelled smoke. I looked out my back window and I saw smoke and I ran downstairs with my phone. I saw fire around the cracks of the door frame and I just called 911," Shade said.
He left behind all of his other belongings, which were destroyed.
Officials said the fire was contained to the boiler room and firefighters extinguished it.
Thirty-six guests staying at the 40-room hotel were forced to leave their rooms.
No injuries were reported.
The boiler room sustained about $50,000 in damage, fire officials said.
About three hours later, the fire reignited, causing the roof to collapse, officials tweeted.
"Firefighters faced extremely dangerous conditions from heavy flames and thick smoke as it poured out of the windows of the building," Daytona Beach spokeswoman Sasha Staton said. "Firefighters have so far been able to successfully contain the fire to this one building and keep it from spreading to the adjacent buildings."
The "intense" fire was brought under control at 12:05 p.m., officials said. Officials said it took several fire departments and two aerial apparatuses to contain the flames.
The Red Cross is assisting anyone affected by the fire, providing food and water. The agency will also organize temporary living arrangements for the victims.
City of Daytona Beach officials said the hotel was condemned after the fire and will be torn down.
"Due to the imminent danger of collapse, the structure will be demolished starting tomorrow," City of Daytona spokeswoman Susan Cerbone said. "Orange avenue from Palmetto to Beach will be closed until the structure is gone."
The 38-room Bayview Hotel was considered a historic building and was built in 1924.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
