#LincolnNews - An improperly discarded cigarette caused fire that destroyed the Fairfield Inn & Suites in North Lincoln at 4221 Industrial Ave. Monday evening, according to LFR.
The fire was reported at 6:50 p.m. after a passerby noticed a small fire on the exterior of the building and alerted hotel staff. The hotel manager then pulled the fire alarm and began evacuating guests.
Investigators determined the fire started in vegetation outside the hotel and spread into an exterior wall. Fire officials said the building’s old construction allowed smoke, heat and fire to travel through concealed void spaces in the wall and into the attic. As smoke and heat accumulated in the roof area, a smoke explosion occurred, quickly spreading fire throughout the attic space.
Firefighters focused first on evacuating guests and searching all three floors of the hotel. Crews remained inside until worsening conditions, including collapsing ceilings and portions of the roof, forced them to withdraw and transition to a defensive attack. Additional resources were called to the scene through a second alarm.
About 30 rooms were reserved at the hotel, though officials said it was difficult to determine exactly how many guests were inside at the time of the fire. The neighboring Comfort Inn was also evacuated as a precaution after a dumpster fire threatened the building.
No injuries were reported among guests or firefighters. The Fairfield Inn & Suites hotel is considered a total loss, with damage estimated at $7 million. Because of the extensive structural damage, guests will not be allowed back inside to recover their belongings.
I'm officially calling for the Cabinet to remove Trump from office under the 25th Amendment. If they can't, Congress must return from recess today and begin impeachment proceedings.

Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper.
DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. And it’s an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies.
We can fix our broken immigration system while still recognizing our common humanity and treating each other with dignity and respect. In fact, it’s the only way we ever will.

BREAKING: Joe Biden has ENDED Secret Service for RFK Jr. 🚨
Two days after RFK Jr. declared a "Unity Party" with Donald Trump, the White House has pulled his Secret Service.
Kennedy is still on the ballot in 40 out of 50 states. He did NOT drop out of the race.
Now, after partnering with Trump, Kennedy is a major target.
The empire is deliberately putting him in danger.
Regardless of where your vote lies, this man deserves protection for the bravery he has shown.

BREAKING
Thread.
Robert Kennedy has dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump.
For my non American friends I don’t know if I can explain how monumental a shift in politics this is here in the US.
Kennedy’s uncle was John F Kennedy. His father was Bobby Kennedy. 2/
It's classic for candidates to challenge the easier opponent.
I'm right here, Kamala—anytime, anyplace! No need to wait for Trump.
Are you ready, or do you plan to set limitations like Biden?
The American People are watching!

Here’s what you should know about me:
✅I’m an environmental lawyer and advocate, not a career politician.
✅I’ve spent the last 40 years fighting large corporate polluters and corrupt government agencies, and trying to protect America’s wild places and the quality of your food, the water you drink, and the air that you breathe.
✅I’m not bought and I’m not buyable by corporate interests or by the big lobbyists (which makes me the most feared and hated presidential candidate among the elites).
Here’s what I believe about you:
✅You work hard, pay your taxes, and play by the rules—and you expect the same from your government, who you want to believe is working for YOU.
✅You and your generation have been crippled with debt by the folks in power. You feel lied to by the government and mainstream media.
✅You feel disenfranchised, disillusioned, and disenchanted with the whole political process.
Enough is enough. That’s why I’m running for president. And I look forward to earning your vote. Put me under a microscope. Hold me to account. I’m applying for a job, and you’re the recruiters. I can’t wait to see you on the campaign trail.

Joe Biden drops out of the 2024 election.
Democrats: There is only one candidate who can win against Trump.
Polls show that Harris, Newsom, and Whitmer will all lose to Trump.
Polls show that RFK Jr. will win against Trump in a landslide.
