The
St. Croix Chippewa Tribe is reporting minimal damage after a fire struck a hotel used for casino guests in Danbury, Wisconsin.
The fire at the St. Croix Casino Lodge occurred in the afternoon on Saturday, November 4. It apparently started in a sauna in the pool area and caused some damage to a small number of adjacent guest rooms, KMSP reported.
“There were no injuries,” Danbury fire chief Mark Bauer told The Burnett County Sentinel.
A gaming executive told KMSP that most guests at the lodge were relocated to a different property.
The
St. Croix Casino Danbury itself was not affected. The facility is across the parking lot from the lodge.
The
casino has a hotel attached to the property. That hotel was not affected either.
The tribe also operates casinos in Turtle Lake and in Hertel.
