Nine people hospitalized after fire at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Tampa

Tampa Fire Rescue crews responded to a reported structure fire at the Grand Hyatt hotel at 2900 Bayport Dr. at approximately 6:25 am on May 12, 2023. 

The first arriving crews found smoke on the 11th floor of the commercial hotel. A 
third alarm was declared, bringing additional firefighters to the scene due to the high occupancy of the structure. Firefighters quickly evacuated hotel occupants and rendered medical aid to guests in need.

Crews contained the fire to the 11th floor and extinguished the fire within 30 minutes. 

There were nine civilians transported to local hospitals with minor medical 
concerns. No injuries to firefighters during operations.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by Tampa Fire Marshal Office investigators.
