Five fire companies were called out this morning for a reported fire at a motel in White Township.
The call went out at 9:43 for the Days Inn on Plaza Drive near Walmart for a structure fire. Indiana Fire Association was initially sent with Coral, Homer City, Creekside and Aultman fire departments, Citizen’s Ambulance and Indiana County EMA officials, who were cancelled en route. Fire officials say an elevator motor burned up causing smoke in the structure. A little smoke-related damage was reported, but crews were able to use fans to ventilate the building.
The building was evacuated by the time crews arrived. No injuries were reported and no one was in the elevator at the time.
