Two civilians, one police officer hurt after fire breaks out in Chesterfield hotel’s HVAC unit

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- Three people, including a police officer, are hurt after a fire broke out inside a Chesterfield County hotel late Friday night.

Just before 9:30 p.m. on, Nov. 7, crews with Chesterfield County Fire and EMS were called to the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel on Koger Center Boulevard for report of a fire alarm. The call was quickly upgraded to a structure fire after officials received information that there was an active fire inside the building.

When they arrived, firefighters found smoke and fire in a fourth-floor room.

Several crews were called to the scene of this second-alarm fire, tasked with both putting the fire out and evacuating those within the hotel.

The fire is believed to have started in an HVAC unit.
