Firefighters were recalled to the Super 8 Hotel north of Walnut at around 5-a.m., today, for a rekindle of the fire that originally occurred Sunday morning. Walnut Fire Chief Justin Tooley told KJAN News the fire rekindled inside a wall of the north building, most likely due to the shifting winds. Walnut firefighters had the flames doused in less than an hour, and were back in station a little after 6-a.m.  Unlike Sunday, no evacuation of the hotel was needed, because the building had been blocked off and no one was staying there. No injuries were reported from today’s (Monday’s) firefighting efforts.
