Fire sparks Read House evacuation

A fire in a laundry room in the basement of the Read House Hotel in downtown Chattanooga set off alarms and prompted the evacuation of the entire building Wednesday night.

Several hundred guests, some in pajamas, lined nearby streets.

The fire was confined to the basement area of the 827 Broad St. hotel and there were few flames, according to a hotel employee.
