Fargo fire displaces over 20 residents

The cause of a late night apartment fire in Fargo is under investigation. Fire crews were called to the 12 unit building on 11th Street South around 11:15 p.m. When they arrived flames were shooting from the roof and tenants were rapidly evacuating.

It took the Fargo Fire Department about an hour to extinguish the blaze. There were no injuries. Eight cats were rescued and reunited with their owners.

A damage estimate was not available but a statement from the F-F-D suggests extensive repairs will be needed before the complex can be reoccupied. The Red Cross is assisting those displaced by the fire.
