Crews resume work at fire-damaged DoubleTree hotel in downtown Laredo

LAREDO, Tex. – Crews are back at work at the fire-damaged DoubleTree hotel in downtown Laredo, Mayor Victor Treviño said. Local, state and federal investigators still cannot go inside to look for a cause because of collapse risks.

Private engineering teams are beginning the process of putting up large steel beams to stabilize the structure, Treviño said.
