Although no one was injured, several tenants had to be relocated to other rooms.

The fire was ultimately placed under control in about 15 minutes.

Last February a fire at the motel claimed the life of a 48-year-old man.

Then in August of 2022 flames broke out inside the Motel laundry room causing another $50,000 in damage.

This latest fire has been ruled accidental.

It's unclear if a smoke alarm was inside the room where it occurred, however those above it were properly equipped, according to the Fire Marshal's Office.
