An unattended coffee pot sparked a fire at an extended-stay hotel in west Mesa Wednesday, causing $15,000 in damage, officials said.

The fire started in an in-suite kitchen at the Suites of America in the 800 block of South Dobson Road about 2:45 p.m., Mesa fire Deputy Chief Mike Dunn said.

Sprinklers kept the fire from spreading, Dunn said.

The blaze caused smoke, fire and water damage to the room and water damage in a nearby room. No one was injured.

Three people displaced are expected to move to other rooms at the hotel, Dunn said.
