It was Sunday, October 3rd at about 12:15 am. Sirens could be heard and a blaze could be seen from miles down the beach. Someone made a call to see where the fire was. They were told it was the Hilton at Sandestin which indeed was true. The worst was feared as the flames lept higher and the smoke rose. But thanks to the quick response of the Destin Fire department the fire was estinguished before reaching the Hilton towers. It did, however, destroy the pool house and the restaurant, Barefoots, where it was said to have originated only leaving soot on one end of the tower itself. All guest were evacuated and safe. No one was hurt. For that we are thankful!
