A video released by police in Florida shows the moment a bottle service sparkler set a restaurant in Tampa on fire.
The video, released by Hillsborough County Fire Rescue on Tuesday, shows workers at the Mamajuana Cafe preparing bottles with sparklers shortly before 11 p.m. on April 6.
However, when the workers started to head to one of the customers, one of the servers extended the sparkler over her head, unintentionally setting the thatch roof of the tiki bar on fire, Telemundo affiliate WRMD-CD reported.
Seconds later, dozens of people can be seen fleeing the restaurant as employees try to contain the fire with a hose, but the flames spread too fast.
The fire grew so fast that within minutes it had taken over the entire building and smoke columns could be seen from miles away, NBC affiliate WFLA reported.
Firefighters took about 25 minutes to put out the fire, officials said. No injuries were reported.
