Minnesota Fire

On January 1, around 8 in the morning, a Minnesota apartment building burned down injuring multiple people. The three story building also had a grocery story on the first floor. The fire was so severe that the firefighters had to leave the building only minutes after arriving. They were also worried about the stability of the building and the safety of the firefighters. The fire department said it wasn't possible to determine if everyone was accounted for or not. The flames and endless smoke engulfed the building only to turn into icicles after the firefighters hosed it all down on the aerial ladders. Thirteen people were rushed to the hospital, and later a fourteenth person joined them.  At least six of them were in critical condition. Some people jumped from the building, and some of the injured people were already on the street when first responders arrived at the scene. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
