THREE ALARMS: Hyannis Harbor Hotel Fire… [VIDEO]
UPDATE – 11/29/2016 – 8:15AM – According to Captain Dardia of the Hyannis Fire Department, one of his firefighters was transported to CCH to be treated for exhaustion due to an abundance of exertion fighting the fire. He was later released and is expected to be okay.
Captain Dardia also mentioned the fire started in a hidden hallway space where there was no sprinkler coverage. The hotel was closed but there were some renovation workers staying in the rooms.
The call came in as a general smoke alarm and workers used four fire extinguishers battling the fire prior to the arrival of firefighters.
Everything escalated fast and hotel personnel did not even know there was working fire. Captain Dardia had his dispatch contact the hotel to let them know…
Officials are looking into a ceiling fan as possibly being the cause of the fire…
