A blown transformer at the Carolina Dunes hotel on Ocean Boulevard near 68th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach sparked a small fire late Friday night and led to a power outage in the building.

Visitors staying at the hotel were relocated to the Caravelle Hotel across the street.

Right now, there are no reports of injuries.
