Hampton Inn Room On Fire In Lake Wales Causing Evacuation

Date:

Shortly after 9:30pm a dispatch call went out to the Lake Wales Fire Department and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office regarding a fire in one of the rooms at the Hampton Inn at 22900 Hwy 27 in Lake Wales.

Lake Wales Fire Department crews entered the building and determined the fire to be out and were allowing guests back into the building. The 4th floor where the room was on fire is still not accessible to guests. Crews are trying to clear smoke. The building had previously been completely evacuated.

The initial details suggest that the room may have been set in fire.

We will update this information as soon as it’s available.
