Workers Flee Fire, Escape To High-Rise Roof
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Two workers fled to the roof of a high rise in downtown Minneapolis after welding sparks ignited a fire.
Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire on the eighth floor Thursday morning and ventilated the 10-story building.
Reports say the workers were rescued from the roof of the 106-year-old Ceresota building, which is being converted from office space to senior apartments.
