Although you may expect to have problems when you stay at a hotel, you usually have an idea of what problems those will be, a bad mattress, poor breakfast, or loud neighbors. However, you do not expect a fire to ruin your stay. That is what happened at this Bismarck hotel when a case of arson left behind a sooty, smokey room.

Staying at a hotel is supposed to be a relaxing experience. Whether you are on a trip to relax or for work, the last thing you expect to have a fire within the building. Thankfully, nobody was harmed, and the fire was contained to the one room.

This was one of the first jobs we used our new 3D Matterport™ camera to document the damage and create a 3D model of. Having a 3D model will allow us to have the most accurate documentation of the job site and easy communication between our staff, the hotel managers, and their insurance providers. This will allow us to have quicker and better communication and ensure the property gets cleaned faster, allowing the hotel to reopen that room for guests once again.
