Orange Beach, Alabama Condos Destroyed By Fire

A bang on the door from Orange Beach Police was the unexpected wakeup call for those living at the Island Dunes Condos Tuesday morning. What they saw next stunned them. “I went to my door and as soon as I opened my door, I looked to the left and saw nothing but fire and flames,” resident Michael Conway said. The fire broke out around 4 a.m., moving rapidly through a wooden building that was built before sprinkler systems were part of the mandatory building code. “You know, a sprinkler system is designed not only to put the fire out, but it’s for escape and egress.
