Firefighters extinguish a fire at Oregon’s historic Timberline Lodge, which was featured in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film “The Shining,” Thursday evening, April 18, 2024, in Government Camp, Ore. The Timberline Lodge in Government Camp, Oregon, famous as the Overlook Hotel in the 1980 Stanley Kubrick movie “The Shining,” caught fire Thursday night.
The fire broke out at around 9:30 p.m. local time, and visitors and staff were evacuated. While the exact cause is being investigated, the hotel and ski lodge said embers from the fireplace were suspected to have set the roof on fire. The Clackamas County Fire District said the blaze was a three-alarm commercial fire and that no injuries were reported. By 11:12 p.m., the fire had been put out, fire officials said.
Timberline Lodge said the fire and water damage was “benign” and mostly contained to the headhouse and lobby of the lodge. The fire did not get past the roof of the hotel.“When we came outside initially there was some glowing behind the building,” guest Cheri Boat told KGW-TV. “A lot of embers flying too, and it smelled like fire. It was a pretty crazy night, unexpected! But happy we’re safe. And the staff did an amazing job.
