PHOTOS: A bachelorette party managed to escape unharmed after the restaurant they were celebrating in caught fire in Florida. An investigation is underway after the blaze broke out at Tailfins Waterfront Grill in Destin just before 11 a.m. on Saturday. Heavy flames and smoke were coming from the second and third floor. No one was hurt, but some firefighters were taken to the hospital out of precaution. For one family, the fire led to some scary moments as they were out to celebrate a good cause. "A lot of people didn't even know that the fire was even going off because the alarm didn't go off right away, but one thing that we did notice was that the owner was actually on the third story with a fire extinguisher actually trying to put the fire out himself," said John Stephens, Bluefish Pontoon Rentals owner.
