Block Island declares state of emergency after historic hotel fire

A fire broke out overnight at the Harborside Inn hotel on Block Island, Rhode Island.
The roof of the Victorian inn collapsed during the hours-long blaze which required dozens of firefighters to control.
No serious injuries were reported but Block Island has limited water and power, prompting a state of emergency.
The cause of the fire is under investigation and tourists have been urged to avoid the area.
Block Island officials say the island is open again for visitors after containing the hotel fire.
