According to Williams, there were civilians inside of the hotel when the fire started but they were able to make it out of the structure safely."It's been a rough four or five days for the Dothan Fire Department, we've had a lot going on," Williams said."I'm so proud of these guys for continuously coming out into the elements."John M.
