A major fire tore through the Caribou Hotel early Wednesday morning, reducing much of the building to charred debris and prompting an active investigation by state fire marshals.
Fire crews were called to the scene shortly after dawn as heavy flames engulfed the structure. Video and photos taken by witnesses show the hotel almost completely burned, with only portions of the exterior frame still standing.
According to responders, all occupants managed to escape safely, and no injuries have been reported. Several vehicles parked near the hotel sustained fire damage.
