A fire at the downtown DoubleTree Hotel in Laredo resulted in structural damage, affecting concrete pillars, floors, and walls.

Structural engineering firms from Dallas and Maryland were brought in to assess the damage and reinforce the building, a process expected to take five to six more weeks.

The building remains structurally unstable, requiring stabilization plans that involve up to 30 pillars. Ongoing road closures and the need for extensive engineering review could disrupt local commerce and increase municipal costs in Laredo.
