A grass fire at an apartment building in St. Paul resulted in the response of 12 fire companies, 4 fire chief officers, 2 ambulances, and over 60 fire department personnel. The apartment building was damaged, but no injuries were reported.
The fire was likely caused by fireworks, which investigators found firework debris near the origin point. Furthermore, residents recalled hearing fireworks shortly before the flames began. As a result of the fire, residents of the complex were displaced, and the Department of Safety and Inspections condemned all 17 units in the building. The Red Cross responded to provide assistance.
