Fire breaks out at Cowboys training camp hotel in California with no reported injuries

A fire broke out Tuesday at the Dallas Cowboys’ team hotel in Oxnard, California, the site of the team’s training camp.

There were no reported injuries from the fire.

Local media video shows smoke rising from a condominium at the Oxnard Residence Inn, where the Cowboys are staying during their roughly one-month training camp. The team was conducting a walkthrough at the time of the fire and continued to practice as fire crews responded.

Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters after practice that nobody was injured in the fire. The Cowboys later released a statement that the fire was contained to a single room and thanking emergency responders for putting it out.

“There was a fire emergency in one of the guest rooms this afternoon at the team’s hotel in Oxnard, Calif.,” the statement reads. “The emergency was contained to one room, that was empty at the time, and there were no injuries.
