The Rapid City Fire Department responded to a structure fire at a hotel located at 2100 N. LaCrosse Street early Thursday morning. Crews arrived on scene around 1:30 a.m. to find flames and smoke pouring from a third-story window.
Although the building was believed to be vacant, fire officials noted prior reports of unauthorized individuals occupying the property. That factor along with the large size of the hotel made the search added to the difficulty of the response and search efforts.
No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
