Horror: Two Dead, Baby Rescued From Third Floor As Popular Hotel Goes Up In Flames (Photos)
Posted by Samuel on Mon 18th Dec, 2017 - tori.ngA popular hotel has gone up in flames, leaving as many as two persons dead and some others completely devastated.
The hotel goes up in flames
According to a report by Daily Star UK, two people have died and three others have been injured as a fire ripped through a five-star hotel popular with A-list celebs and footballers.
Pictures showed flames ripping through the upper floors of Cameron House on the banks of Loch Lomond in Scotland.
One person died at the scene and another was pronounced dead after arriving at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.
Witnesses claim a baby was rescued from a third floor window as fire crews rushed to the scene.
The hotel is a popular amongst celebrities and has been a previous haunt of Scotland's national football team.
It charges up to £800, is a popular wedding destination, and has welcomed stars such as Gary Barlow and Cameron Diaz.
Dozens of firefighters battled the blaze which took hold around 6am – with four ambulances also in attendance.
Thick white smoke could be seen billowing from hotel's rooms for miles around while crews got the inferno under control.
Around 200 guests were evacuated from the building, with many people being treated for smoke inhalation.
Ainsley Huxman, a guest at the hotel, told BBC Scotland: “I thought it was a fire alarm, just like a practice go.
“But when we left - five stairs down from our room - we saw a whole room full of smoke and flames.
“So we had to run back down the hall, chapped on everyone's doors and shouted ‘fire’ We got out within five minutes of the fire brigade getting called.”
The hotel's official Twitter account posted: "We’re currently dealing with a fire within the main building.
"The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are on site and dealing with the situation.
"We will provide a further update as soon as we can."
The fire came after a hotel in Wales also went up in flames, leaving the building a "shell".
A spokesman for the Scottish Ambulance Service said: 'We received a call at 6.44am today to attend an incident at the Cameron House Hotel.
“We dispatched four ambulances, our special operations response team and the trauma team to the scene.
“Three patients, two adults and one child, were taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
“A fourth patient was taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital.”
