A terrible development is that a destructive fire that started only a short while ago has devoured the Blue Chip Casino Hotel Spa. The fire is currently being fought by emergency personnel after it quickly spread throughout the structure, inflicting major damage and necessitating the evacuation of both staff and visitors.
According to incident reports, the fire started at around 2:00 PM and swiftly spread to many stories of the well-known resort. As guests were evacuated, witnesses recounted chaotic scenes; some were even seen on camera escaping the smoke-filled hallways. On the scene, firefighters from Michigan City and the neighboring areas are putting in endless effort to contain the fire and stop it from getting out of hand.
Authorities are still trying to determine the precise cause of the fire, although preliminary investigations indicate that it may have begun in a kitchen area. Although a few of visitors have received treatment for smoke inhalation, fortunately, no significant injuries have been reported as of yet.
