Port Wentworth firefighters are investigating what caused a blaze to break out about 6 p.m. Thursday at a hotel.
When firefighters arrived on scene at the Country Inn & Suites on Ga. 21 near Interstate 95, heavy fire could be seen on one side of the building, said Port Wentworth Fire Chief Ashley Fields.
With help from Pooler Fire Rescue and Savannah Fire & Emergency Services, firefighters halted the blaze and did what they could to limit damage to guests’ personal property, Fields said.
One firefighter sustained minor injuries in the incident, he added, but no guests or hotel employees were hurt.
The cause of the fire was under investigation Thursday evening.
