Fire leaves 'extensive damage' at St. Pete Beach shopping plaza

  • A large fire erupted Tuesday afternoon at the CVS Pharmacy located at 4685 Gulf Boulevard in St. Pete Beach.
  • The fire began inside the CVS and later spread to the adjacent Publix and other businesses, forcing evacuations and road closures.
  • Fire crews battled hotspots in void spaces with no clear access, breached the exterior, and extinguished the flames, resulting in smoke, water damage, and a partial roof collapse.
  • Emergency responders deployed at least 42 fire units, fully contained the fire by around 11:30 p.m., and confirmed no injuries were reported during the three-alarm blaze.
  • Officials closed all businesses in the plaza as a precaution Wednesday, with extensive damage reported and investigations ongoing to determine the cause.
