OXNARD, Calif. — The day after multiple fire trucks showed up at the Cowboys’ hotel to put out an afternoon fire, club officials had little to say beyond the statement they released once the blaze was extinguished.
“The whole specifics of it, the pre and the post, I’m really not going to get into it,’’ coach Mike McCarthy said. “Some individuals have been affected by it, no doubt about it, the property damage and all of that goes into account.
“We’re thankful the response was outstanding and particularly the people here who were first on site, responded with fire extinguishers.’’
McCarthy was also very complimentary of the Oxnard Fire Department.
“They did an outstanding job in their response,’’ he said.
“It was a very unfortunate situation. We’re thankful that no one was hurt.’’
The fire started in a player’s room and forced him, along with a player in an adjacent room, to be moved elsewhere in the hotel for the final two nights of the team’s stay, those with knowledge of the incident said.
