Investigations into hotel blaze continuing

Mon, 30 Jul 2012

The Fire and Rescue Service is still investigating what caused a blaze which resulted in a Douglas hotel being evacuated last week.

Crews were called to the property on Harris Promenade just after 11pm last Monday.

On arrival they found a fire at the rear entrance which involved cardboard boxes and a cooling unit.

Staff at the hotel had already begun to tackle the fire which was then fully extinguished by fire crews.

The hotel was succesfully evacuated with no one suffering any injuries.

The Fire and Rescue Service is refusing to name the hotel involved.
