DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Orlando.com) – A fire at a Daytona Beach hotel early Friday morning that destroyed the 40-room building has been ruled accidental, according to Daytona Beach Fire Department officials.
The flames at Bayview Hotel on Orange Avenue were first reported at about 5 a.m. Friday and it took until 4 p.m. for the fire to be fully extinguished.
Officials said the fire began in the boiler room and spread into the walls and up the building. On Monday, authorities clarified earlier reports that the fire reignited and said that was not the case, but rather firefighters were still fighting the flames when they discovered the fire had spread.
