Fire breaks out in Cowboys hotel room; no injuries


OXNARD, Calif. — The Oxnard Fire Department and Police were called to the Dallas Cowboys' training home at the River Ridge Residence Inn on Tuesday for a fire in one of the guest rooms.

The fire was confined to one room that was empty at the time and no one was injured, the team said.

As firefighters dealt with the situation, players and coaches prepared for their afternoon walk-through after a nearly two-hour practice earlier in the day.

The Cowboys occupy the entire River Ridge Residence Inn campus for players, coaches, front desk staff, support staff and other personnel. No non-Cowboys personnel stay on the premises during the team's stay in California.

The Cowboys will hold their final protected practice of camp in Oxnard on Wednesday, and after a brief tour and autograph session for camp volunteers, they will return to Dallas on Thursday.

They host the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday at AT&T Stadium in their final preseason game.
