Cass County – Fargo (trfnews.i234.me) – We’ve confirmed with Fargo fire officials that on Sunday night, crews responded to a third-floor balcony fire at an apartment building located at 1804 39th Street South in Fargo.
The fire was contained to a small 2×2-foot section of the deck, and no grill or cooking appliance was found on the balcony. Officials are currently investigating the cause of the blaze, which remains unknown.
Fortunately, there was no structural damage to the building and no reported injuries.
