During our trip to Lake Havasu City for Labor Day Weekend in 2003, we witnessed the Sofa City Furniture store go up in flames.

I live in South Florida where the humidity is oppressive and it rains heavily many days of the year. So we were surprised by how rapidly the fire grew and then leaped to the grass adjacent to the road.

These pictures were taken from the 2nd story of the Ramada Inn located at 271 South Lake Havasu Avenue, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403.

From what we briefly heard on the news that night, no one was injured in the fire and the firefighters did a great job of making sure that the flames didn't affect the neighboring buildings.
