Greensboro tenants who are forced to go to the hotel fire

Greensboro, NC –

A Triad Hotel is now convicted of a fire.

In the beginning, 20 people had to leave Greensboro's “The Cavalier Inn” because of the fire damage, but on Monday the city of Greensboro left everyone who stayed there, know that they had to find somewhere else to stay. Guilford County's emergency management supports the move.

“The real estate managers cry, we know that it is bad.” Mark Everhart said a maintenance employee in the hotel.

WXII crews saw several signs that were set in the buildings and in the main office, and said that the hotel was now a condemned property.

The Greensboro fire brigade says that incorrect electrical devices set up the building on Sunday morning.

Mark Gardner lived in the Cavalier Inn Cavalier Inn for a year and a half. He saw thick clouds of smoke overtaking part of the building.

“Traumatic. I've never seen anything like this,” said Gardner. “Our apartment was at the end of the building. We didn't get much smoke, but we went out and saw the whole thing.”

Now the future is not only for the people who stayed in the Cavalier Inn, but also unclear to the employees.

“I know that I will help you for a few days. Remove the stuff there, such as refrigerators, microwaves, televisions, washers and dryers. But I will be unemployed, I'm sure,” said Gardner.

Gardner now hopes for the best and takes it one day after the other.

“I am lucky that I have a place I can go, but I don't know how long I will be, but I'm going,” said Gardner. “I know that another door has been closed and another opens, so I'm ready.”

Nobody was injured by the fire. At that time, the American Red Cross says that they help 11 families whose units were damaged.

With regard to people who had to go to the condemnation of the building, Guilford County's emergency management is working on finding them to accommodate them.

We also turned to the owner of the Cavalier Inn and are waiting to listen back.
