The fire has been extinguished, and control of the hotel has been returned to the hotel staff.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand defender CJ Bott said some players encountered smoke while evacuating. But the players made it out safely and spent a few hours at a nearby restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, one of the fire exits was a bit smoky but the majority of us got down the other safe exit and we exited the building perfectly fine,\u201d said Bott.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Hato Hone St. John ambulance service confirmed to ESPN that two ambulances were sent to the scene and four people were treated for smoke inhalation, but didn\u2019t require transportation to a hospital as they were in \u201cmoderate condition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had really good security on board that gave us really good instruction and we all kind of dealt with it pretty well,\u201d forward Gabi Rennie said on Sunday. \u201cI think our team is pretty good with dealing with adversity.
