There were no injuries Wednesday night when a small fire broke out on the upper level of a Manitou Street home.

North Central Fire Station district chief Dan Romanson said everyone got out when the blaze broke out in the post-supper hours in the north-side residence. .

“We were called to the scene shortly after seven. There was a fire on the third floor. There are two bedrooms up there. The fire was put out fairly quickly. The occupants were all evacuated when we got here and the inspector is up there now to determine how it happened and stuff like that.”

No cause for the fire is yet known, he added.

“We did have word from one of the tenants that a couple of animals were left inside, but we didn’t find anything. It was pretty straightforward and the fire was put out pretty quickly.”
