Barkwater Drive Fire
South Orlando Fire Destroys 8 Condominiums
A large fire erupted early on Tuesday at the South Orlando condominium complex known as Tymber Skan. The fire, which started close to 8:00 in the morning, is reported to have encompassed several buildings near Barkwater Drive and Tymberwood Lane, and although no one was reportedly injured in the fire, the eight units destroyed by the flames are in close proximity to other condominium units with a total population of between 50 and 75 individuals. This fire comes as no surprise to the residents who have watched over 20 such blazes spring up over the past two years. The problems seems to stem from the fact that this particular swath of condominiums has been declared condemned, however many of the condos are fully owned by their residents.
