FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (KFGO KBRF) – A Fergus Falls apartment fire left tenants displaced Sunday afternoon. Firefighters responded to the fire on East Cavour Avenue near Riverside Waterfowl Sanctuary at 1:46.
Firefighters saw smoke coming from one of the units involved. Due to the quick action of another tenant who used a fire extinguisher on the fire, damage was confined to one apartment unit.
Training and Safety Division Chief Dan Lipson says the cooking fire damage costs $20,000, and the affected unit cannot be occupied. The Red Cross is aiding the displaced tenants.
