MARCO ISLAND, Fla — Some incredible pictures of burning tiki huts Sunday had Marco Island's own Community Correspondent Mahmoud Bennett at the hotel Monday to hear from police first-hand about fire that broke out in front of the J.W. Marriott Hotel.
When he arrived on the scene Monday, Bennett found remnants of the fire, from ashes to several empty holes.
Firefighters were alerted to the blaze on Saturday after the hotel and several guests reported the fire.
"And when [the fire department] arrived, they discovered that these tiki huts were fully engulfed in flames," Detective Mark Huffor of the Marco Island Police Department told Bennett.
"It's suspicious," Huffor added.
No one was hurt, and firefighters did get the fire under control before anything else was damaged.
