State Fire Marshal report shows multiple safety violations at Lutsen
Lodge; too early to determine cause of fire
Investigators continue to work on finding the cause of the fire that
leveled the historic Lutsen Lodge after flames tore through the
structure early Tuesday morning on the shores of Lake Superior.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety State Fire Marshal
released details Wednesday on the most recent Lutsen Lodge
inspection that happened last summer.
The inspection, which happened on July 6, 2023, reportedly found
seven violations, four of which were repaired by the owner before
the fire broke out.
Officials say it is too early in the investigation to determine if
the three outstanding violations played a role in the fire.
The violations not repaired include an annual inspection and testing
of the sprinkler system, periodic inspection and testing of the fire
alarm system and egress illumination that is equipped and maintained
with emergency power backup.
The repaired violations include exit signs connected to an emergency
power source, replacement of smoke alarms, maintaining clearances
between ignition sources and combustible materials and a posted
diagram displaying evacuation routes.
State law requires hotels, motels and buildings used for lodging
with six or more guest rooms for short-term rentals be inspected for
fire safety once every three years.
The Cook County Sheriff’s Office says an employee reported seeing
smoke coming from the floor in the lobby of the three-level building
before they escaped unharmed.
No guests were staying in the lodge at the time of the fire,
according to officials.
The flames destroyed the lodge, burning it down to the foundation
with only the old chimney standing.
The resort complex has been in this North Shore community since the
late 1880s — with the lodge that burned being built several decades
later.
Kjersti Vick, with Visit Cook County, said the fire has left a
painful mark on the community.
“It’s close to my heart as well. Everybody has some type of a story
or connection, especially in this community, to Lutsen Resort,” Vick
said. “It’s really impactful both emotionally and it’s a main
economic driver of our community. It’s one of the larger resorts in
the area”
The State Fire Marshal’s Office said the cause is still being
investigated, adding that there is no timetable for how long the
investigation could take because of the magnitude of the fire.
Meanwhile, the resort owner has talked about rebuilding the lodge.
