Hotel / Motel, Hotel / Restaurant Niagara Falls, ON, Canada – Fire in high rise hotel quickly extinguished by sprinkler system; No injuries reported September 8, 2018 viking210 Multiple crews from Niagara Falls Fire Department were called to the Fallsview Boulevard highrise hotel about 3 p.m. Officials say the fire was quickly extinguished by the hotel’s sprinkler system. When police arrived, employees and guests had already evacuated the building. “If you are a guest in a hotel and hear the alarm system going, it’s safer to stay in your room and wait until you get instructions from the fire department on whether to leave or stay,” Boutilier advised. Just less than 30 firefighters were called to the scene, including volunteers from Station 4 in Chippawa. “We had Station 6, Crowland, to come in to cover the rest of the city while firefighters were at the hotel,” Boutilier added. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. No damage estimate was available but the Office of the Fire Marshal is investigating the incident.
