A blaze erupted on Tuesday at the Dallas Cowboys’ team hotel in Oxnard, California, where the team is currently holding their training camp.
Luckily, there were no reported injuries resulting from the fire.
Local media footage shows smoke billowing from a condominium at the Oxnard Residence Inn, where the Cowboys are staying during their roughly one-month training camp. The team was in the middle of a walk-through at the time of the fire and continued to practice as fire crews responded.

Head coach Mike McCarthy assured reporters after practice that nobody was injured in the fire. The Cowboys later released a statement expressing gratitude to emergency responders for putting out the fire, which was contained to a single room.
“There was a fire emergency in one of the guest rooms this afternoon at the team’s hotel in Oxnard, Calif.,” the statement reads. “The emergency was contained to one room, that was empty at the time, and there were no injuries. The Dallas Cowboys thank the Oxnard Fire Department and Oxnard Police Department for their quick response and reaction to the situation.”
Details about the fire remain scarce, with neither officials nor the Cowboys addressing the cause of the fire. It’s unclear if the fire was in a room where a Cowboys player or staffer was residing.
The Cowboys traveled to Oxnard on July 23 and held their first training-camp practice on July 25. They’ll hold their last practice in Oxnard on Thursday before traveling home to host the Los Angeles Chargers in their preseason finale on Saturday.
The Cowboys will then finish preseason practices at team facilities in Frisco, Texas, ahead of their September 8 regular-season opener at the Cleveland Browns.
