TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Fire Rescue (TFR) said it is on the scene of a fire at the Grand Hyatt Hotel at 2900 Bayport Drive.

Fire crews were dispatched to the hotel parking garage about 12:50 p.m. following multiple 911 calls.

TFR said when fire crews arrived, they saw heavy smoke and fire coming from the second floor of the parking garage.

A second alarm was called to help contain the fire and keep it from spreading to other floors.

Due to smoke conditions and safety concerns, the fire crew temporarily left the garage and transitioned to a defensive attack.

TFR said the fire was brought under control in about an hour.

Ten cars sustained significant damage, officials said.
