Guest Corey Honabach told the Miami Herald that his wife Donnelle Weiss Honabach had caught sight of the fire that morning and ran into their bungalow to tell him.

“There’s only one bungalow between us and the clubhouse,” Corey Honabach said. “I went over to the building to see if I could help in any way.”

Honabach called 911 as the fire had already gone well beyond what he could do with a fire extinguisher he’d found. Instead, Honabach knocked on doors to wake up the other guests in case the fire spread to the bungalows.

No bungalows were affected, but Bungalows is closed until further notice.
