At the time of
the fire, the lodge in the town of Harbor Springs housed 113
guests in 64 rooms. One of the injured had to be evacuated to a
hospital outside of the area, the resort said in a statement.
The cause of the fire at the resort's Main Lodge hotel was under
investigation by the Harbor Springs Fire Department and the
state fire marshal, the resort said.
The fire brought first responders from several fire, emergency
medical and law enforcement agencies, and firefighters were
still on the scene extinguishing hot spots nearly 12 hours later
as of 1 p.m. EST.
An estimated 40 percent of the building sustained fire damage,
and much of the rest of the lodge was impacted by fire, smoke
and water, the resort said.
The resort, in the northwestern part of the state, was closed on
Sunday and no reopening date had been set.
A spokesman at Emmet County Sheriff's Office declined to
comment, and Harbor Springs fire officials were unavailable to
comment.
