Update: Comfort Inn gets OK for rebuild
Comfort Inn Complex to Reopen by Summer
Comfort Inn lawsuit filed
So, our routine trip to the hardware store was interupted by FIRE. According to Dwight, the cook at Perkins, the fire started in the pool/sauna area after some type of power surge. When we arrived on the scene, only the southern end of the complex was noticeably burning (Huge flames leaping into the air). Soon we saw emergency response from Keeseville, Saranac, Chazy, Beekmantown…. Despite their efforts, the fire quickly spread to the lobby area and finally all the through Legends (the bar) and into Perkins. I’d say the whole place is done.
Here’s a quick-look, a video, and a slideshow, more pictures after the jump:
