Several witnesses took to social media to report the blaze.

One witness reported on Facebook, “I had just finished my Tuesday salsa and Argentine tango classes in the south end of Dolphin Plaza strip mall. I ordered takeout for dinner to bring home from our favorite Italian restaurant, Buona Ristorante (home cooking!) and was headed to the UPS store about 40 yards away. But I heard some small booms and noticed everyone looking up. Black and white smoke was pouring out of the CVS store that’s between Buona and Publix.”

Another added, “That is crazy. First big fire I have ever seen on SPB.”

A third person wrote, “CVS on St. Pete Beach went up in flames today. I was at starbucks on the corner & this is the video i personally took. Praying no one was hurt.”
