KAKE – December 26, 2013
Wichita firefighters were called the report of a roof collapse at a West Wichita extended stay hotel.
It happened at the Value Place Hotel, located near Kellogg and Ridge Road. Crews arrived on scene shortly after 3 p.m. to find water filling up the top floor of the four story hotel.
Crews and hotel personnel evacuated the building while firefighters worked to shut off water to the building. Fire officials tell KAKE News that the water main and sprinkler system on the top floor froze and then burst, flooding the building.
Hotel officials are working to relocate guests to other locations in Wichita. The building was at full capacity at the time of the break.
