MINNEAPOLIS, Minn — Several residents have been displaced following a fire late Thursday night in the Powderhorn neighborhood of Minneapolis.
Firefighters were called to a home on the 3200 block of 4th Ave S just before 11 p.m. according to a news release from the Minneapolis Fire Department. On scene, fire crews found heavy smoke coming from the attic of the two-story structure. Firefighters opened holes in the exterior of the building to prevent the fire from spreading and extinguish the blaze.
Around 9:40 a.m. on Friday, officials say firefighters returned to the house with the report of flames being seen from the same structure. Arriving crews found heavy flames coming from the home's second floor. A search of the building found no one was there. After 10 minutes, the fire was out, fire officials said.
No injuries were reported as a result of the fire.
The residence was deemed uninhabitable, and the Red Cross was contacted to provide support to six adults and one dog.
The cause of both fires is under investigation.
