Overnight Fire Forces Dozens From Niagara Falls Boulevard Motel

Niagara Falls fire investigators are working to determine what sparked a massive fire that tore through a local motel and forced dozens from their rooms on Saturday morning.

Crews were called to the Swiss Cottage Inns, located at 6831 Niagara Falls Boulevard, around 1:30am after Niagara Falls police responded to a noise complaint at the property. When officers arrived, they discovered flames and heavy smoke coming from the west side of the building. Police began knocking on doors and helping evacuate residents and animals from the motel.

Firefighters battled the blaze for almost three hours. Officials said that although the fire initially appeared to be under control, the situation worsened when smoke thickened and another section of the motel ignited.

Despite the extensive damage and chaotic evacuations, no injuries were reported.
