No one was injured in a fire at the Fortina Hotel in Tigne this afternoon but a woman was treated for smoke inhalation.

The fire, which is now under control, started as a pan fire in a kitchen on the first floor but moved to the seventh through the vents after the hood also caught fire.

All residents were evacuated as a precaution.

People who live in the area reported thick black smoke coming out of the hotel for a few minutes but dying down soon after.
