The film used aerial shots of the Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon as part of its opening scene, and for exterior establishing shots.

The Oregonian reported a portion of the Lodge caught on fire at around 9:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Clackamas Fire Department shared that the fire was declared under control at about 11:12 PM.

“The fire was kept to the roof & part of the attic, & didn’t spread any further. Crews are clearing the scene. The U.S. Forest Service will be conducting the investigation with the help of federal resources,” the firefighter account wrote, adding several photos of the scene.

No injuries were reported.

Timberline Lodge was built in 1937. It continues to operate as a hotel even after becoming a National Historic Landmark in 1977. It was used three years later in Kubrick’s “The Shining,” which starred Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd.
