I had to rush out this morning to cover a massive fire that destroyed the Tin Fish restaurant at Marina Pointe overnight.

I always check the TV station Web sites as soon as I get up and I immediately knew I'd have to rush out to get on scene. By the time I did, the fire was mostly extinguished, but they were still fighting lingering hot spots. I shot the above photo and also shot and edited a quick video.

Luckily, no one was inside when the fire started and there were no injuries. It felt strange to see the building in ruins, though, as I had just eaten there for the first time when family came to visit a few weeks back. I guess it's good we did so while we had the chance.
