Myrtle Beach firefighters battled an early morning fire at Time Out nightclub in downtown Myrtle Beach. Lt. Sam Vest with the Myrtle Beach Police Department said the blaze is now completely out, and all roads in the area should be open within the next hour.
The fire started around 3:20 a.m. in the second floor of the nightclub building, which is located at 520 Eighth Ave. N. in the superblock area near the former Pavilion Amusement Park site. Vest said no other details are available at this time.
Flames were still showing 90 minutes after the fire started, but the fire was just about out by about 6:30 a.m.
The bar has served the gay community in Myrtle Beach for a number of years.
The manager of the bar Adam Amira says he and a few other people were in the bar when they hear a loud noise upstairs and then smelled smoke. When he went to check it out, he saw the fire and called 911.

myrtle beach is a pretty squared away iso class one dept. Looks like water supply was some what limited.
Speaking of water… We are use to some pretty major storms here in s.c. Looks like many of you in the northeast are about to get the storm of the year!!!
Advice… simple … get your family ready now!!! not later… so you can then get ready to protect your community.
Cappy,you are correct we lived in Surfside Beach during hurricane Hugo what a wake up for everyone. They have really improved their fire& Rescue departments even in the county(Horry).
I wouldn’t think water was a problem, as water supply is at the top of the list to make it to a class 1 rating. Water supply, training, and communications make up the majority of the points, with water supply being at the top.
No matter what the water supply was, there are better ways to apply it than from a bucket 100 feet up and 200 feet away from the fire when the building is two stories tall.
I just have to….. Da roof! Da roof! Da roof iz on fiiahh…. We don’t need no watah, let da M%^@# F&$@! burn!!! Ol’ club song… Fits in well with this story
