Popular tourist stops become fire hot spots; Brock Plaza Hotel, Skylon Tower suffer $300,000 in fire damage

From the Niagara Falls Review:

Two vandals caused almost $300,000 in damage after fires were deliberately set at several Niagara Falls landmarks early Tuesday.

Ironically, the fires erupted on the second day of National Fire Prevention Week, a week set aside to raise awareness of fire safety issues.

Fire crews were first called to the Brock Plaza Hotel around 2:20 a.m. in response to a small fire in the administration area of the hotel.

Police say a fire had been deliberately set in a washroom on the fourth floor of the historic Falls Avenue hotel.

While the hotel’s sprinkler system was activated and quickly extinguished the blaze, the suspects then turned on a fire hose with the intent of flooding the building, said Det. Const. Eric Pierce.

The suspects fled the scene, but were captured on surveillance video.
