600 evacuated after downtown hotel fire

No injuries were reported after a four-alarm fire broke out at the InterContinental Hotel in downtown New Orleans Saturday night.

 

Fire officials say approximately 600 hotel guests were evacuated and relocated to other nearby hotels following the blaze in the laundry area. 

 

Officials tell WWL-TV the third and fourth floors of the hotel suffered "significant" fire damage, though the hotel's sprinkler system helped keep the fire contained.
