A fire broke out at the Interior Inn yesterday afternoon.

The call came in to Thompson Fire and Emergency Services around four, and the fire was already starting to spread throughout the building when fire fighters arrived on the scene.

Thompson Fire Chief John Maskerine spoke to 102.9 CHTM and said that no fire fighters have been injured battling the blaze, and that everyone who was a registered guest with the hotel is accounted for.

He added that they are waiting for the Office of the Fire Commissioner to arrive in Thompson before they work together to determine a cause, if the conditions allow.

Chief Maskerine added that he hopes the situation will be under control in the next 36 hours.
