All the motel occupants were able to safely evacuate, and no injuries were reported, said a news release issued by the Norfolk County Fire Department.
Firefighters from three Norfolk stations responded to the fire at a Talbot Road motel just after 1 am where smoke and flames were coming from a bathroom window in one of the units.
Firefighters quickly got the fire under control, containing damage to the unit. Damage to the building and its contents is estimated at $40,000. The property owner is insured.
The cause of the fire is under investigation but Katie Ballantyne, community safety officer with the Norfolk County Fire Department, said it is not deemed suspicious.
“Thanks to the efficient efforts of firefighters, other units were not impacted, and the occupants were able to return this morning,” said Ballantyne in the release issued Tuesday.
“We are also appreciative of the quick assistance from health and social services and the Red Cross who are reaching out to the victim and other occupants of the motel to assist them with any needs following the incident.”
