(KLZA)-- Firefighters responded to a call at the Grand Weaver Hotel in downtown Falls City late Saturday afternoon.
Falls City Volunteer Fire Department Chief Ken Simpson said fire fighters discovered smoke and a small carpet fire in an office on the second floor of the hotel, located in the 1800 block of Stone Street. A fire extinguisher was used to put out the fire.
Eleven Falls City Volunteer Fire Department members responded to the call. With it being a downtown business fire it was also a Mutual Aid Call to the Falls City Rural Fire Department and 7 members of the Rural Department also responded. In addition, three members of the Shubert Fire Department who happened to be in Falls City also came to help out.
Chief Simpson said it is possible that an extension cord was the cause of the small blaze. No one was injured. The fire call went out shortly after 5:30.
