Dozens of firefighters from multiple agencies were busy Monday morning, battling a fire that destroyed two townhomes off Lands End Drive in Longboat Key.
Longboat Key Fire Rescue said it could have been even worse if it weren’t for witnesses and 911 calls.
What we know:
Just before 10 a.m. on Monday, neighbors knew something was wrong off Lands End Drive in Longboat Key.
“There was a ton of smoke coming out of the house on both sides. It started on the west side and moved on to the east side,” Dawn Sensabaugh said.
Sensabaugh is the HOA president for the community and lives just two houses down.
“First, I texted the people who owned it to make sure they weren’t here. I was pretty sure they weren’t and told them to get out if they were,” he said.
The owners of the townhome were out of state and supposed to arrive later in the week, but their cleaning lady was inside.
“She was kind of hysterical when she came out,” Sensabaugh stated.
Dig deeper:
The call grew to a 3-alarm fire, requiring 24 units to respond from Longboat Key, West Manatee Fire Rescue, Cedar Hammock and Sarasota County Fire Rescue.
