The Hilton Garden Inn in Lafayette Square had two different fires happen just hours apart from each other on Monday morning.
The first was at 2:20 a.m. in a second-floor closet and was extinguished by the hotel sprinklers before the Buffalo Fire Department arrived. The fire did not spread farther.
The second was at about 11:40 a.m., when firefighters identified smoldering in a wall's insulation. This fire was under control, according to a Buffalo Fire statement.
The first fire was caused by a light ballast overheating. It triggered the sprinkler to activate and the backup generator to run. The second fire was started by the exhaust from the generator that melted some spray foam.
There have been no injuries reported.
