    Crews are on the scene of a large fire in northeast Minneapolis that caused several buildings to collapse early Sunday morning.

    Officials with the Minneapolis Fire Department say crews responded to a report of a fire around 4:13 a.m. on the 1500 block of Central Avenue Northeast. 

    Crews arrived to find a three-story commercial building fully engulfed in flames, with the fire encroaching on adjacent buildings. The fire quickly spread to two other structures that were butted up against each other.

    The Minneapolis Fire Department says crews struggled to reach the building due to a large pile of discarded tires and debris blocking the road, several locked gated parking areas and a BNSF railway bridge.

    Minneapolis Assistant Fire Chief Melanie Ruker said the fire hydrants were far away and some of them did not have enough water pressure to support the number of crews on the scene. Fire engines had long hose lays to fire hydrants in the area to gain enough water to supply. Four aerial ladder water towers and several large volume ground nozzle headlines were also used.

    Officials say there may have been people experiencing homelessness in the area at the time of the fire. Crews searched all buildings that weren’t fully engulfed and did not find anyone. No injuries have been reported.

    BNSF was able to move the railcars occupying the nearby tracks that the fire was impending upon, officials say. BNSF confirmed the railcars were empty.

    Fire crews are still on the scene working to extinguish the flames and are expected to be there for several more hours. Officials say the fire is contained to the area.

    The cause of the fire is under investigation.

  • Shooting suspect who likely started Miami building fire in custody; 40 displaced: officials

    Shooting suspect who likely started Miami building fire in custody; 40 displaced: officials

    [ad_1]

    MIAMI — A massive fire broke out at a four-story apartment complex in Miami on Monday morning.

    Firefighters and police officers arrived at the building just west of Interstate 95 near downtown Miami after receiving calls about a fire around 8:15 a.m., and began rescuing residents from the building’s balconies, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said during a news conference.

    Suarez said arriving first responders also found a man with gunshot wounds at the scene. He was taken to a hospital, where he was in critical condition. Officials said the shooting is part of an active investigation. They offered few other details, other than calling it an “isolated incident.”

    Officials later said a suspect in the shooting was taken into custody and likely started the fire.

    Three firefighters were transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital due to heat exhaustion and were in stable condition, Suarez said during a news conference. Two have since been discharged, said Lt. Pete Sanchez, a spokesperson with the City of Miami-Fire Rescue. In addition, at least one resident was being treated for smoke inhalation, he said.

    The gunshot victim, whose name has not been released, was listed as critical, Sanchez said.

    Atlantic Housing Management, the company that manages Temple Court apartments, said in a statement that one of their employees was found shot inside the complex.

    “We are still determining the cause of these events, and we are checking for other injuries. Police are investigating, and we will help in whatever ways we can,” the management company’s statement said. “We are grieved by all that has happened today, and our thoughts and prayers are with our team member and his family and residents of the Temple Court community.”

    News helicopters showed flames rising from the building along with large plumes of smoke several hours after the fire started. At least two ladder trucks were pouring water and foam onto the building.

    The apartment complex consists of one-bedroom and studio units near the Miami River.

    “It was a wood-frame structure which explains the intensity,” Sanchez said.

    As of early evening, Sanchez said the fire “was under control and no longer spreading, but it still needs to be extinguished.”

    Residents from the building, many of them elderly, were taken to a staging area where they were offered food and any medications they needed, Suarez said. He added that at least 20 people had been processed and were rehoused with family, and some 20 more were expected.

    “Our hope is we will be able to place them in permanent housing as quickly as possible,” he said. “Obviously people are very emotional. They might not be able to get anything that was in those units. Some are worried about their pets. It’s been very upsetting, very traumatic.”

    Suarez urged those who would like to help those impacted by the fire to contact the American Red Cross.

    Smoke from the fire was also drifting over Interstate 95, and much of downtown Miami.

    It was not immediately known whether anyone was injured in the fire.

    Frisaro reported from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and ABC News contributed to this report.
