Fire Sends Bridal Party And Guests Into Street

St. Augustine, FL - A small fire that broke out in a guest room at the historic Casa Monica Hotel on Cordova Street in Saint Augustine sent a bridal party and guests attending a reception in the building out into the street shortly after 8:00 pm on Saturday, July 03, 2010.

The fire broke out in a bathroom of a second floor room, filling the room and parts of the second floor with smoke. The fire was contained to the bathroom and fire fighters said there was little to no damage as a result.

The St. Augustine Fire Department responded with three engine companies and St. Johns County Fire Rescue sent a fourth engine to the scene. City 1 and City 2 also responded to the fire along with a battalion Chief from SJCFR.

The bride and groom stood in the street in front of the hotel watching the fire fighters run in and out of the building while their guests mingled around the street or sat on the wall in the park out front of the hotel.

No one was injured as a result of the fire and the cause is currently under investigation by the St. Augustine Fire Department.
