Bemidji Apartment Fire

Evidently there are some building codes in place here. Looks as if the fire was conpartmentized by fire stops extending to the roof line on this apartment buildings in Bemidji MN. Think of what would have happened if the attic space was open the full length of the building, worse if this had happened at night.

The horrible fire at regency apartments in Bemidji, MN. Pray for the people who live there that they will find shelter and deal with the devastations that come with this situation.
"The fire is believed to be one of the worst in Bemidji since a fire destroyed Central Elementary School in 1958. Anderson said the apartment fire appeared to have started on the balcony of a central third-floor apartment, but that was speculation until the investigation was complete. No civilian injuries were reported, but a Bemidji firefighter was treated and released at North Country Regional Hospital." (Quote from Bemidji Pioneer)
