Last Monday around 9am a fire broke out at a hotel just near our apartment. East Village Hotel was undergoing refurbishment but still operating with guests. The fire broke out in the basement and is believed to have started from welding sparks setting fire to polystyrene insulation as well as paint thinners stored in the basement.
The fire took 5 hours to bring under control and nine hotel guests were taken to hospital with smoke inhalation. One firemen was also treated for burns and another for heat exhaustion.
The hotel is still closed and refurbishment has stopped as the construction company has had its permit revoked.
