VIDEO: Multiple agencies responded to fight a fire in Strawberry Point on Monday, which left at least five people displaced. It was just about 1 p.m. when the Strawberry Point and Edgewood fire departments started fighting a fire at Circle of Life Missions, which rents rooms to individuals and assists seniors. Strawberry Point Police Chief Ryan Evans said they first got everyone out. "There was five or six elderly people that were in there. We escorted them out safely without problems," Evans said. "We were able to relocate them to the city hall. The Red Cross came out to help us." The logistics of battling the flames were left to the firefighters.
