Heartbreak Hotel Catches Fire

No injuries

|


The acrid smell of smoke lingered over Duval Street in Key West following a fire that engulfed the Heartbreak Hotel, causing no injuries but displacing 13 guests.

The effects were also felt in New Town as the strain put on water lines by the city Fire Department response caused a minor blowout along North Roosevelt Boulevard. That resulted in significant traffic delays during the morning rush.
