Firefighters Battle Heavy Fire At Minneapolis Building; 4 Adults And Child Displaced

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) --  A fire broke through two floors of a building in Minneapolis Friday afternoon, and displaced several people living in a second floor apartment.

The Minneapolis Fire Department says crews responded to a structure fire in a two-story commercial building on the first floor and residential apartments on the second floor on the 3700 block of Bloomington Avenue around 12:30 p.m.

Crews found heavy fire and smoke from a barbershop on the first floor, and searched each residential unit.

The fire was extended to the second floor and the roof. Extra personnel and equipment were requested.

Crews then extinguished the fire and two cats were rescued and returned to their owners. The Red Cross was called for four adults and a child.

No injuries were reported.

Crews say the building is uninhabitable.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
