Owners devastated after New Smyrna Beach store destroyed in fire

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. — Investigators are trying to figure out what sparked an early morning fire at Eagles Beachwear on Third Avenue.

Firefighters said they received a call around 1 a.m. Sunday.

Crews from New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater and Port Orange worked to clear to flames.

Investigators said the roof collapsed, but no one was hurt.

A construction crew spent hours securing the building so that at an insurance adjuster could inspect the damage.

The owners told Channel 9 they are still in shock. They have owned the business for 21 years and said they have become friends with many of their customers over the years.
