Reports from Morocco World News described the incident as only a “small fire”. Thanks to the fast actions of the hotel staff and emergency teams, all guests and employees were safely evacuated from the premises.
The fire was contained in time, stopping it from spreading to other areas of the hotel. Luckily, no one was hurt, and all the right safety steps were taken to protect everyone.
