One person was injured when a fire broke out at a motel in Santa Monica on Saturday.

According to Santa Monica Fire Department, the fire was reported at a little after 12:34 p.m. at the Holiday Motel & Suites located in the 1100 block of Pico Boulevard. 

Firefighters were able to contain the blaze to just one unit, extinguishing the flames within 10 minutes utilizing an "aggressive attack."
