Smoke filled the air in Kenora Friday after a fire underneath the Clarion Lakeside Inn.
Police were forced to shut down a nearby street. The hotel sustained smoke damage after acrid smoke was sucked inside through the ventilation system, according to Todd Skene, Kenora’s fire chief.
Fire crews tackled the blaze by 8:30 p.m. The fire department first arrived at about 6:30 p.m.
