Rihanna evacuated from hotel fire

The singer tweeted fans a picture of herself bundled up in the back of a taxi in a grey hoodie and sunglasses.
She then posted: “Fire in da telly #evacuationlife”, with a snapshot of a fire engine outside the hotel.

London Fire Brigade have confirmed that no one was injured, and Clare Durnford, the hotel’s public relations manager, insisted the incident was not serious, and evacuation was just a safety precaution.

She said: “At approximately 6.30am, one of  the service elevator motors at Corinthia Hotel London burnt out. There was a slight discharge   of smoke and because of our robust fire management policy, the alarms were activated and a full evacuation of the building was carried out.

“As a matter of procedure, the fire brigade were called to carry out full safety checks throughout the building. All guests were safely accounted for and were allowed back into the hotel soon after 7am.” — Bangshowbiz.
