Trespasser arrested as closed Surf City motel burns in large fire

Investigators are trying to determine what caused a fire at a closed motel on North Carolina's coast.

Police arrested a trespasser at the scene of a massive fire at the old Blizzard's Motel in Surf City.

Almost nothing was left from the building, which had been closed for about 10 years.

No one was injured in the fire, which is under investigation.

It was not clear if the trespasser will be blamed for starting the fire.
