Panama City Beach, Fla:

The State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating a tree fire that spread to a Panama City Beach Christian retreat.

Fire officials say they got a call just before 10:00 p.m. Saturday from a property next to Laguna Beach Christian Retreat on Front Beach Road.

Authorities say three palm trees caught fire, and the wind caused the flames to spread.

Fire crews from the Bay County, Panama City Beach, and West End Volunteer Fire departments arrived to find 10 to 15 foot flames shooting up from the grass.  The fire spread to the wooden deck of the Laguna Beach Christian Retreat next door.

About 22 fire personnel worked about 30 to 40 minutes to get the fire out.  No injuries were reported.
