Hotel Fire Not Due to Negligence Found
In Dubuque State Fire Marshal Zach Cook and A A Lubberden testified at the coroner’s inquest into the June 4 Canfield hotel fire. They found no evidence of negligence or incendiarism. A paper container with cigarette stubs and napkins started the blaze in a first floor storage room near the Red Lounge Tavern. The fire spread rapidly through the 200 room hotel, with investigators noting a “flash fire” from wall board construction. Cook did not know inspection frequency or last inspection dates, and said the hotel complied with state fire laws. He suggested the carton and ashes in the box may have triggered the fire. Lubberden added no evidence of foul play. The inquiry continues.
