(KNSI) — No one was hurt, but nine people are looking for a new place to live after a house fire Saturday night.
According to a critical incident report from the St. Cloud Fire Department, crews were called for a fire in a rooming house on the 500 block of 7th Avenue South at about 11:40. When they arrived, the large, three-story house had a working fire on the third floor, and the St. Cloud Police Department was on scene evacuating residents. Firefighters helped them get everyone out of the house.
The second and third floors and the attic all sustained damage. Damage is estimated at $120,000.
The cause is under investigation, but it is believed to be accidental, originating near a baseboard heater.
The Red Cross is helping those living in the house.
