When it was all said and done, the fire damaged two rooms and the attic in one section of the business and the electrical services to the motel were disconnected because of the amount of substantial damage caused. Only one of the rooms was occupied but that person was not at the motel when the fire started. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported from the incident.

The investigation continues into what caused the fire.
