MINNEAPOLIS, Posted 9:22 p.m. November 17, 1998 -- The Regal Hotel in
Downtown Minneapolis broke out in flames this evening.

meeting rooms.
Authorities estimate around 100 people were evacuated successfully from
the hotel, many wearing shorts and comfortable evening clothes.
The fire department at this hour is reporting no injuries.
The fire is reportedly nearly extinguished, and firefighters are
bringing in fans and opening windows in an effort to ventilate the
building.
