A propane-powered heater overheated while workers were doing maintenance on the second floor of the Comfort Inn on Friday morning, setting off the hotel’s sprinkler system, authorities said.
Although there was no fire or flames, the building was evacuated after the 10:30 a.m. alarm, said Josh Waldo, Oak Ridge Fire Department assistant fire chief.
Waldo said there was water damage in four rooms on the first and second floors. He said the hotel was “back in business” by about lunchtime Friday.

Rain water leaked into the third floor of the Anderson County Courthouse in Clinton during storms on Thursday and Sunday nights, and records stored in boxes on shelves and the floor got wet, county officials said Monday morning.
Records stored in a dozen or fewer boxes from Anderson County Chancery Court and Circuit Court sustained “mild dampening,” Circuit Court Clerk Barry Pelizzari said.
“They’re in the process of restoring that and getting everything dried out,” he said.
