Firefighters spent a very busy night responding to several blazes in Panama City Beach.

The first one was around midnight behind Dominos Pizza on front beach road.

A couple hours later and only a few blocks away at 9319 Clarence Street near Moylan Road, a home was engulfed in flames around 1:30 a.m. Thursday morning.

Witness say they spotted several kids in the area immediately after the fire. The sheriff's office is assisting the Fire Marshal in this investigation.

No one was in the home when it went up in flames.

In the past two weeks two more homes in that immediate area have been destroyed by suspicious fires. They were vacant and boarded up at the time.

All of the fires are taking place within a two or three block area off Front Beach Road just east of the Long Beach area.
