Took a screenshot but only shows a little smoke. We contacted the bartender/operator of the pool bar at La Terrasse and he said that he saw a lot of fire and police cars going by his place in Simpson Bay. He is on his way.

Yes on a fire, video is online, don't have details yet. Does NOT look huge. Nothing from KPSM. I posted the video on my SXM page...came from KPSM.

I also saw that but don't know that it's related. Fire was late last night.

I've heard from a condo owner at La Terrasse and the fire started in unit 2278. That's the same unit we stayed in last Dec/Jan when we were there for Christmas and New Years.

Whale Tail--wow, that is some coincidence. Any info about how it started? Any injuries?

Don't know about how it started or injuries, but I did hear that guests in another second floor unit could not leave via the hallway because it was filled with smoke so they jumped off the second floor balcony down onto the lawn.

We are good friends with the folks who own the unit where it started. It was being rented but we are told there were no injuries.

I have heard speculation but the Owner said fire inspectors are there today making that determination.
