Rescue workers in Haralson County are reportedly working on an explosion at the Quality Inn hotel in Bremen this morning.
According to reports, there are an unknown number of injuries at the scene. They say that up to five cars have been crushed by debris that has fallen from the second story of the building.
A spokesman for state Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John Oxendine, Glenn Allen, says the fire broke out at the Quality Inn and Suites on US 27 in Bremen.
Investigators from Oxendine's office are on their way to the scene, about ten miles east of the Alabama state line, off of Interstate 20.
An 11Alive news crew is also en route to the scene, and will have details and images as soon as they are available
Yeah, Heaven forbid if breaking news should occur during a "hard break".
When I saw the headline I thought this was an article about too many hotels being built.
Small town 45 miles west of downtown Atlanta.
I got money on a meth lab.
Bremen is about 50 miles West of Atlanta, a little north of I-20, less than 10 miles from Alabama. Hope all are ok.
A west Georgia motel was heavily damaged Tuesday morning by an explosion and fire, authorities said.
The Quality Inn and Suites, on U.S. 27 in Bremen was still burning shortly before 10 a.m., said Glenn Allen, a spokesman for state Insurance and Safety Fire Commission John Oxendine.
Allen said there were unconfirmed reports that a motel maintenance worker was killed in the blast.
Investigators from Oxendine's office were en route to the scene, about 10 miles east of the Alabama state line.
Meth Lab??
It's very dangerous to be between John Oxendine and a TV camera.
Speculation = meth lab
Certainly would NOT be from a gas heater LOL
Ruiner...you read my mind.
first thought...
"I got money on a meth lab."
Probably not. It's probably a natural gas explosion in the hotel's laundry area. Meth labs aren't usually in decent chain motels like Quality. They're in the old strip motels from the 60s and 70s.
Meth lab?
