According to a tweet from the Killeen Police Department, teams were fighting a fire in a large structure at the hotel and urged nearby residents to avoid the area.
There was no information on whether the hotel was busy and whether there were injuries. The hotel website reports that it has 102 rooms.
The KWTX affiliate’s video showed several teams of police and firefighters at the site where the building appeared to be completely engulfed.
At the beginning of the day, the Killeen City tweeted that it was experiencing water conservation conditions like much of the state due to this week’s storms. “We are in Stage 5 of water conservation due to the extremely limited water supply,” tweeted the city.
CNN contacted the Killeen Fire Department for additional details.
