Hotel staff alerted early:

Following his noble act, Rance credited the staff for calling the fire station early to prevent further damage.

The origin of the fire was in the southern end of the building. There’s a little bit of structural and water damage, but it appears to have been caught in time. It’s fortunate we got the call nice and early,” Rance said to Cricinfo.
