Coulterville, CA — Fire has caused extensive damage to a historic hotel in Coulterville.

Crews responded to the Hotel Jeffery at around 1:30am, and CAL Fire reports several resources are still on scene this morning mopping up the flames. The cause of the fire is under investigation. No injuries were reported. It’s not immediately clear if the hotel is a total loss, but CAL Fire officials indicate the damage appears extensive.
