WADENA (KDLM) – A Wadena apartment fire last week was caused by an unattended cigarette.
Firefighters battled an apartment fire, Wednesday, Oct. 20 above All Around Divas and Brinks Jewelry in Wadena. The Fire Department says that a landlord tried to put out the fire with an extinguisher but the fire grew and became unable to manage due to high winds.
Seven units in the building are considered uninhabitable due to smoke damage.
The Wadena Fire Department has established a benefit account for donations for those displaced by the fire. Donations can be made at any Wadena Bank location with donations divided between the fire victims within the next month.
