A torch malfunction caused a small fire at the Hampton Inn on Statesville Road Wednesday afternoon. The man working with the torch also suffered minor burns to his hands, according lowest airline ticket prices to fire officials.
The torch sparked a fire in a mechanical room on the second floor of the hotel just before 2 p.m. Wednesday, Capt. Greg Shaner said. Hotel employees were able to extinguish the fire quickly, so firefighters did not need to run water lines to the hotel.
Upon arrival, firefighters investigated the scene and assisted with ventilating the building. While most of the smoke was on the second floor, it was not contained to just that floor and firefighters ventilated the entire building, Capt. Shaner said.
