Fire Next to Stamba Hotel Holds up Rustaveli Traffic, No Victims Reported

At around 12pm, fire trucks appeared to tackle a blaze in a building next to Stamba Hotel. Smoke was billowing out of the rear of Hotel Gutsa, at number 12 Kostava Street.

The police blocked the street for an hour and a half for safety and to allow fire-fighters clear access. This lead to a significant traffic jam on Rustaveli Avenue.

The traffic flow returned to normal at 1:30 pm, after the police made sure the building was safe.

No casualties were reported.
