All hotel guests were accounted for after a fire broke out at the Ramada by Wyndham Cochrane on Sunday.
High winds caused the fire to spread at the hotel, located at 10 Westside Drive, at around 2 p.m., according to Insp. Jeff Avery with Cochrane Fire Services.
Avery said about 30 firefighters were on scene, including engines from Cochrane, Rocky View County, Redwood Meadows and Calgary.
Westside Drive was closed, and crews asked people to stay away due to the heavy smoke in the area, Avery said.
