Fire kills several in hotel blaze next to restaurant expo
Several Moroccans attending a cultural program and other visitors were killed in a hotel fire on the 22nd floor during a National Restaurant Association exhibition. Fire officials said cigarettes sparked the one room mattress fire and the escape doors being left open worsened the spread. Witnesses reported people leaning from upper-floor windows as smoke filled the building and elevators failed. Authorities said the fire appeared confined to the origin room but victims were found in nearby areas. Initial investigation found no sign of arson.
