Hotel blaze in Montgomery

Firefighters are trying to figure out what caused a massive blaze at a Montgomery hotel.

The Country Inn and Suites on Carmichael Road was already vacant at the time flames started to spread over three-floors late Tuesday afternoon.

It took crews several hours to finally extinguish the blaze. One of the exterior walls collapsed in the process.
