JEFFERSON, WV (WSAZ) - 911 dispatchers say Route 60 is back open in Jefferson after a fire at a local motel.
The fire started around 3:30am Wednesday at Smiley's Motel in Jefferson.
Route 60 had been closed ever since, but it re-opened around 1:00 Wednesday afternoon.
Firefighters say the fire got out of control very fast and it burned for the better part of six or more hours. We're told by the time firefighters got there the flames were through the roof.
Firefighters believe the fire had probably been burning for almost an hour before someone noticed it.
Investigators believe a gas line inside the lounge could have been fueling the fire.
The motel was destroyed.

any one this is bashing any fire dept paid or vol. needs to ask there insurance company how much there homeowners insurance would be without any fire dept. Once you do that then you can talk all you want if you can afford to have a computer or intenet service to do so. To all firefighters paid & vol. thanks!
