USA: Fire at the iconic Timberline Lodge hotel
A fire broke out at the Timberline Lodge Hotel in Oregon, United States, known as the Overlook Hotel from Stanley Kubrick’s film The Shining. The roof and attic were engulfed in flames but were brought under control before spreading. Guests and staff were evacuated with no injuries. The cause of the fire is suspected to be embers from the main building’s fireplace. The interior of the “Overlook Hotel” in the film was based on the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park.
