Fast response by Fargo fire crews minimizes house fire damage

(Fargo, ND) -- A fast response by Fargo fire crews helped minimize damage from a fire at a home Monday morning.

"We were actually dispatched at 11:32 which is the same time the call came in. We arrived on scene and fortunately we were close, only a few blocks away and were able to start attacking the fire," said Assistant Fire Marshall Dawn Stollenwerk.

Fire crews had the blaze put out by 11:55, according to Stollenwerk. The home is at the corner of Broadway and 11th St. North. We're told the fire was contained to a single apartment unit in the house. One person inside the place was able to get out safely. No injuries are reported and there is no word yet on a cause.
