Citizens of Sandy Shores were awoken with an early Halloween spook while firefighters tamed the beast of a fire on the motel on Algonquin Boulevard.

At 9:48 PM on October 30, 2020, the Los Santos Fire Department received a dispatch call in regards to a structure fire at 21 Algonquin Boulevard in the town of Sandy Shores. A quick response from the department involved the department's volunteer apparatus at Station Four. Arriving units declared a working fire from the roof of the Motel, entering into numerous rooms of the complex. The motel was quickly evacuated. Firefighters began an exterior attack with the forceful instruction of, Captain II Leonardo Holman. Over the span of 60 minutes crews were able to drown the fire. The State Fire Marshals were on scene to begin the investigation of the cause, finding it to be an electrical fire caused by a telephone pole wire making contact.

An official 'knockdown' was declared an hour and forty-five minutes after units had arrived on the scene. This is the second time an incident has erupted at the motel in Sandy Shores. Just earlier this month on October 18th, 2020, a fire was reported at 8:10 PM. Battalion Chief Roxie Bauer took the helm of the incident, under her command was Engine 4 and RA-71 as Fire Attack 1. Engine 71 and USAR 3 as Fire Attack 2. Quint 7 on Roof with RB-31 and RA-32 as medical. The partial collapse of the roof turned the offensive attack into a defensive with an official knockdown called at 10:16 PM. The incident was investigated by the State Fire Marshals with the cause being related to a burnt cigarette.

No civilians were injured and one Firefighter was taken to Mount Zonah with minor burns.
