Motel Fire Forces Evacuations In Liberty

A motel fire in Liberty forced the evacuation of about 50 people but caused no serious injuries.

Fire officials say one firefighter was treated and released for injuries after falling from a second-floor balcony at the Day’s Inn in Liberty early Wednesday.

The Liberty Fire Department says 30 rooms were occupied and about 50 people were evacuated. Three people had to be rescued.

A damage estimate was not immediately available but authorities say up to eight rooms were heavily damaged.

The State Fire Marshal will investigate the cause of the fire at the Days Inn motel near highways 291 and 152.
