The official said the that the hotel as successfully evacuated and there were no injuries. Whether that statement is truthful, I cannot say.
I am wondering what the people running the show are going to do. The countdown clock on the fireworks show page is continuing to run, there are no notices or mention of anything wrong, and the webcast is scheduled to begin in 50 minutes, with the show beginning 30 minutes later.
I was checking out twitter and people are running in the streets. I would think evacuating the streets would be a priority.
I read on Twitter that the fire is on outside of the building not inside, thank goodness. Paint burning?
