The blue building was destroyed by a fire that occurred early Monday morning. Credit: WINK A fire has destroyed one of the buildings at the Island Club at North Captiva. The fire was reported to Upper Captiva Fire at around 3:30 a.m., Monday. WINK News spoke with Matt Wykes, the owner of Island Club at North Captiva, who said no one was injured by the fire. Before Hurricane Ian, the now burned blue building located on 4421 Parkway Blvd., was used as a restaurant. A couple living upstairs in the building said they smelled smoke, waking them up. After leaving their room, the building was engulfed in flames. “I woke up this morning to a very strange smell,” said John Nacarato, who lives upstairs, “then I came back, and with a few minutes, the building was fully engulfed in flames. Then the fire department did their work and put the fire out.” Besides Nacarato, his wife Sarah and their dog Hobbie living upstairs, the rest of this building was not in use. The building has since been deemed a total loss. Through an early investigation of the scene, it is believed an electrical issue may have caused the fire. The details of the fire are currently being investigated by the state fire marshal.
