At least 30 people in apartments on St. Paul’s East Side have been temporarily displaced from their homes after a fire in the boiler room shut down the building’s heat and water flow.

The fire occurred around 9:15 Monday morning at 1032 Duluth St., according to authorities. The fire was contained enough not to cause any injuries or significant damages. However, no one was allowed to stay in the building without power and gas on.

As of Monday afternoon, it was unclear whether residents would be displaced through the night.

Many residents went to the American Red Cross’ Duluth and Case Recreation Center nearby for snacks, water, and other resources. The Red Cross is working closely with the landlord of the building to determine whether an overnight shelter needs to be opened, said Carrie Carlson-Guest, Red Cross regional communications officer.

“I think it’s amazing that our volunteers are responding, because some of them were actually deployed to the recent disasters across the country,” Carlson-Guest said. “So they’re not only responding to hurricanes, they’re responding to a fire here at home, because disasters happen every day.”
