GRAND FORKS, N.D. (KFGO) – A broken water line prevented a fire from spreading, but some tenants are displaced from a Grand Forks apartment complex.
The Grand Forks Fire Department says crews responded to 515 N. 8th street around 5:10 p.m. Tuesday for a report of smoke. The fire started in the ceiling of a first floor unit, caused by a malfunctioning bathroom fan. Firefighters say it was put out by the broken water line.
The damage was contained to two units in the building. The people living in those units were not allowed to return and are being assisted by the American Red Cross.
No one was hurt in the fire.
Altru Ambulance and Grand Forks Police also assisted.
