Hotels Filled With Fire Fighters

Because of the wild fires many businesses are putting out a sign that is not often used.

The no vacancy sign.

Even though many people from our community are working to contain the wild fire, seventy five percent are from out of town.

Right now fire fighters are taking up nearly half of this Comfort Inn's rooms.

And with all the power outages, they actually had to turn customers away.

"It's always a good thing for the hotel when we have so many guests that we have to recommend that they go to another hotel. We hate to turn away people but it's nice to be sold out also." Said Manager, Melisa Price.

Price says fire fighters are very low maintenance guests and for many reasons they're happy to have them there.
