The Minneapolis Fire Department says crews are investigating what caused a vacant building to catch fire Friday morning. Just after midnight, the Minneapolis Fire Department said crews responded to a fire at the 3000 block of 18th Avenue South. The home’s porch was on fire.
Crews needed to force entry into the building, cutting through boarded-up windows and removing plywood and steel mesh to get inside. The fire was extinguished by 12:30 a.m., and investigators are still working to learn what caused the fire.
