“…Damage to the 15,000 square-foot hotel and 4,000 square-foot bar was so severe that no one was allowed in the 
buildings due to the possibility of a collapse. An engineer was called to come out and assess the building’s structural integrity….”
Fire ripped through the Traveler’s Hotel and The Knockout Bar at the 200 Block of C Street early Saturday morning.
According to CAL FIRE spokesperson Bob Eicholtz, one reason that aided in the fire spreading was that the buildings were old and there were no fire stops in the walls.
CAL FIRE dispatched five engines, three ladder trucks and approximately 35 firefighters to battle the fire.

There are parallels between this fire and the fire that I was in. My apartment building was extremely old and after the fire they condemned the building because they were unsure about the structural safety. I am not sure if I understand what fire stops are, however. I hope everyone was okay.
