Fargo fires reported at 2 apartment complexes

Fargo firefighters responded to a blaze at a row of garages at the Waterstone Apartments around 1:30 this morning.  Four vehicles inside the garages were destroyed.  A van parked outside the structure was also destroyed.  The blaze did not spread to the nearby apartment building and residents who were evacuated as a precaution were allowed to return.

While firefighters were still mopping up that fire, another fire call came in just after 3:00 a.m.  The fire was in a second-floor apartment on the city’s south side.

A few tenants had jumped from second floor balconies as firefighters were arriving.  There were no reported injuries for both incidents.

Fire crews were able to get a quick knockdown – but there was damage to the unit.   It appears the fire started in the kitchen area.
