A hotel in Oklahoma City has an estimated $100,000 in damages after a cooking fire.
Oklahoma City firefighters responded to the hotel near Meridian Avenue and Southwest 15th Street around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Crews said a large amount of smoke was coming from the third floor and located a cooking fire inside one of the rooms.
The fire had spread to a nearby mattress.
Officials evacuated the hotel and put out the fire before it spread to other rooms.
The building’s sprinkler system had been activated and no injuries were reported.
Officials said the cause was an unattended cooking fire.
According to a Friday afternoon news release, “residents have been safely relocated and alternate plans for providing services have been enacted.” Albion has long housed people who have experienced domestic or sexual abuse.
Ashley McReynolds, Albion’s director of advancement, said the fire started around 10:30 p.m. The damage primarily occurred in the kitchen, but there’s also water damage to “several communal living spaces” after the Evansville Fire Department extinguished the blaze.
“We are unsure how long it will take for the shelter to reopen as insurance adjusters, fire department, etc., are still evaluating,” she told the Courier & Press. “But all other services, including our crisis lines and response service, are still operating normally.”
McReynolds provided security camera images that show a thick coil of fire rising from what appears to be a stove. The photo doesn’t show anyone in the room at the time.
The damage was limited thanks to a sprinkler system the organization recently installed after receiving grant funding from the West Side Nut Club, the City of Evansville Endowment fund, and the Brave Heart Foundation, Albion said in a subsequent news release.
The injured employee, who Albion didn’t name, also played a huge role in attempting to put out the fire, as well as evacuating residents and their pets to safety.
The employee is recovering from their injuries and is “being hailed as acting calmly and heroically,” the release states.
Albion will work with the YWCA, Holly’s House and others to continue to provide shelter to women and men in need while restoration efforts are underway. All other services are still up and running.

Around 9:30 p.m., the Penetanguishene Fire Department responded to a report of a structure fire at 58 Church Street, fire chief Richard Renaud wrote in an email to Barrie 360.
He says crews arrived to find smoke and flames coming from the front door.
“The building, a sprinklered former hospital (Beechwood Hospital), was vacant and for sale at the time of the fire,” said Renaud. “Initial reports were that people were possibly inside. That information turned out to be false.”
Firefighters quickly knocked down the blaze and searched the building.
“The building’s operating sprinkler system kept the fire isolated to the area of origin,” said Renaud. “There were no operating smoke alarms in the building.”
The fire is considered suspicious, according to Renaud. The fire marshal has been contacted and OPP are securing the scene.
He added that there were no injuries to civilians or firefighters.
“[I] would like to remind everyone to make sure they have working Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarms in their homes,” said Renaud. “Early detection is key in surviving a fire. Test your devices today.”

A fire broke out Monday at a local resort and spa in Sandestin.
South Walton Fire District officials say around midnight, crews arrived on-scene to an electrical fire at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa, on the 6th floor of the Spa tower.
The fire suppression system in the room had reportedly contained the fire, but smoke was still present on several floors.
Firefighters say the fire’s room of origin was accessed with the help of resort staff, securing the sprinkler system, evacuating guests, and extinguishing any other signs of the fire.
SWFD says no firefighters or civilians were injured, but the fire caused damage to the tower’s electrical system, and water damage was sustained from the sprinklers.
Guests staying in the damaged tower were reportedly relocated to other rooms for safety as the tower needed to be repaired.
