Minneapolis firefighters deemed a townhouse uninhabitable after a fire Saturday night in the Whittier neighborhood within the Powderhorn community, according to a press release.
The department says crews responded around 9:20 p.m. Saturday to reports of smoke coming from the underground garage of a three-story townhome at 223 W. 28th St.
Crews fought the fire, which extended to all three floors and required responders to call for extra personnel and equipment.
The department says the fire did not extend to other units, but firefighters ventilated smoke from an adjacent townhome because its 4-gas monitor detected carbon monoxide.
The townhome, which was an end unit, is uninhabitable. One cat was found dead after the incident.
