Cigarette Causes Grand Forks Apartment Fire

A smoldering cigarette starts a fire that forces 14 people out of their apartments in Grand Forks.
 
The fire broke out last night in a 6th floor unit at 23 3rd Street North.

Damage was contained to the unit thanks to the sprinkler system, but there was smoke throughout the building and several other apartments had water damage.

The tenant of the unit was taken to Altru with unknown injuries.

The Red Cross is helping those displaced.
