A major fire tore through Jaws Souvenirs on Thomas Drive in Panama City Beach early Friday, sending thick smoke into the air and drawing emergency crews from Panama City, Bay County, and even the Navy base to battle the blaze with powerful water cannons. While the cause remains unknown and no word yet on whether the owners plan to rebuild, the incident adds to a recent surge in emergencies across Bay County — including a lightning strike in Lynn Haven and a vehicle fire in north Panama City. The city praised first responders for their swift action and dedication, as the community mourns the loss of a beloved local landmark. The future of Jaws Souvenirs remains uncertain.
