A fire reported in downtown Great Falls on Tuesday night forced over a dozen people to be moved to another hotel. Firefighters were called to the O'Haire Motor Inn and Sip N Dip Lounge at around 9:40 p.m. Tuesday for a report of a vehicle fire in the hotel's parking lot. A bartender at the Sip N Dip told MTN News that more than 30 people were in the bar at the time and that they were safely evacuated. The bartender says at least one person told him they witnessed someone start a fire in or near a van. Around 16 guests were allowed back into their rooms to get their belongings before being transported to the Best Western Heritage Inn.
