The fire started around 1am at the Northline Motel off Airline. Firefighters had to move quickly to save unknowing residents inside the motel that was completely booked.
All residents were evacuated safely. Firefighters were able to knock the fire down quickly before it spread to the entire building. However, one unit was damaged. The people who were inside that unit did not offer any explanations as to how the fire started.
Arson is now investigating the cause of the blaze.
