The Inn, Gretna’s former Super 8 tied to an alleged sex trafficking ring, will be burned for a live-fire training exercise with firefighters from seven departments. The structure was one of four motels in the case, and its owners were arrested in an FBI raid about a year ago.
Fire crews will enter and suppress fires in multiple rooms as part of the exercise. Full structural burns are rare in this growing area, and this may be several years before another occurs. The building was sold to Heimes Corps LLC and will be used as a parking lot for the business to the north. Other motels have had mixed outcomes: Roadway Inn demolished; New Victorian and AmericInn remain standing.
