Florida Keys put out a residential fire early Tuesday morning that destroyed a trailer and a tiki hut, according to the Key Largo Fire Department.

Firefighters arrived at the Campers Cove RV Park at 101640 Overseas Highway at 2:30 a.m. to find the trailer completely in flames, said Capt. David Garrido.

The flames spread to a tiki hut next to the trailer “causing significant damage,” Garrido told the Miami Herald/FLKeysnews.com.

Five Key Largo Fire Department truck crews worked the fire, with help from a Monroe County Fire Rescue crew, Garrido said.
