Whitehorse RCMP and the Whitehorse Fire Department are investigating a fire that burned the main building, garage and an RV at the Mountain Ridge Motel on the Alaska Highway on Monday morning.

Another vehicle on the property, located south of Robert Service Way, suffered heat damage.

Chris Green, deputy fire chief for the Whitehorse department, said Monday afternoon he was on his way into work that morning when he saw the blaze.

He called it into the station at around 7:45.

Firefighters who were on duty were already getting set to respond to earlier calls about it.

“It was fully involved,” Green said of the fire.

With no hydrants in the area, Whitehorse received help from the Mt. Lorne and Golden Horn fire departments. Their personnel arrived with their own pumpers to complement the two Whitehorse had on the scene.

Whitehorse also had a rescue vehicle and utility truck on hand.

Green noted the help of the other two departments was greatly appreciated by the Whitehorse crew members.

Eleven to 14 firefighters from the three departments remained on the scene for several hours, keeping the fire contained to one area.

There were no injuries.

Firefighters were able to help out about four people at the motel along with a number of pets that were there with their owners.

Others in the motel were able to make it out safely, Green said.

Firefighters were on the scene until shortly after 1:30 p.m. Monday.

The investigation into the cause will likely continue for some time, Green said.
