Marines save guests in motel fire

LAKE FOREST, Calif. -- Off-duty Marines are being credited with saving lives after spotting flames and smoke at a California motel and rousing sleeping guests.

Orange County Fire Chief Kris Concepcion said the fire broke out Sunday morning at an Americas Best Value Inn in Lake Forest.

The chief said six Marines on leave from Camp Pendleton who were staying at the motel raced door to door to warn guests.

They even carried one elderly man to safety.

No one was killed or seriously injured, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

The Marines said they were just doing what they had been trained to do.
