STEELE, N.D. (AP) – Authorities are working to determine the cause of a fire that destroyed a motel in the North Dakota town of Steele.

The Lone Steer Motel in the town just off Interstate 94 burned to the ground Sunday morning. All of the two dozen people in the building got out safely, though some had to exit second-floor windows, make a short drop to another roof and then jump into the bed of a pickup truck parked next to the motel.

Steele firefighter Rob Dewitz says the call came in about 8:45 am Sunday morning. By the time firefighters arrived on the scene, the building was completely involved by the fire.

Dewitz says firefighters made sure vehicles were out of the way.

Police Chief David Feland says that arson has not been ruled out. Two arson investigators with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are being called in.
