Early Morning Hotel Fire Forces Guests to Evacuate
View Larger Map
On March 28th, 2011 at 4:09 a.m. (6) Companies of Charlotte Firefighters, (1) Heavy Rescue Company, (3) Battalion Chiefs, and (2) Fire Investigators, under the direction of Battalion Chief Paula McDaniel responded to reports of a structure fire at 6300 Morrison Boulevard, The Double Tree Hotel.
Firefighters from nearby Station 16 arrived minutes later and were met by members of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department informing them of a fire on the fourth floor. After making their way to the fourth floor, fire crews discovered that the sprinkler system extinguished a fire at one of the guest rooms. As a result of this, firefighters were left with the task of smoke removal. A well coordinated evacuation plan resulted in all hotel guests exiting the building safely.
The Charlotte Fire Investigation Task Force has determined that this fire was intentionally set and an arrest has been made with charges pending. Anyone with information pertaining to this fire is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 704.334.1600. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Damage caused by the fire, smoke, water, and fire control is estimated at $15,000. One injury unassociated with this fire was reported.
