Fire Causes Evacuation Of Troy Hotel
The Troy Fire Department reported that no injuries resulted from the blaze.
TROY, MI — A dumpster fire caused the temporary evacuation of a dozen guests at a Troy hotel on July 5. The fire occurred at about 8:30 p.m. at the Red Roof Inn at 2350 Rochester Court. No injuries were reported, according to the Troy Fire Department.
“The only thing that burned was the trash inside the dumpster,” said Assistant Troy Fire Chief Chuck Riesterer.
The hotel was not involved in the fire, according to a report. Due to the size of the dumpster and the amount of burning debris, a large tow vehicle pulled the dumpster away from the building, emptied the dumpster and then secured it so firefighters could put out the fire, according to a report.
