The departments were called to the Orange Park Days Inn off of US17 and Interstate 295. The fire was contained and extinguished but not before one fire fighter was transported to Orange Park Medical Center for heat exhaustion.
Investigators believe that the fire was triggered by an electrical problem.
The damage could have been even worse but investigators are crediting the hotels sprinkler system with keeping the fire contained until firefighters arrived. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, rewritten, or redistributed.
