PHOTO: Three adults were displaced after a house fire on the 1500 block of Ninth Avenue Southeast in Mandan early Wednesday morning. No one was injured in the fire that burned the side of a trailer home and an adjacent shed, as well as much of the backyard, said Mandan Fire Chief Steve Nardello. Two adults and a dog were home at the time. There is no fire damage to the inside of the home and little smoke damage. The fire started in the shed adjacent to the house, but it is unclear what caused it, Nardello said. Fourteen firefighters responded around 3:30 a.m. and put out the blaze. Neighbor Garry Riplinger said the flames rose as high as the tree tops, burning two apple trees in his backyard, as well. He said the whole yard was orange and embers were flying. The fire also damaged some wiring and a transformer that provides power to several houses in the neighborhood, said Montana-Dakota Utilities spokesman Mark Hanson. MDU shut off electricity for eight nearby customers from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., in order to repair the equipment. The American Red Cross is providing immediate assistance to the residents, including temporary housing in a local hotel, according to a release from the organization. Damages are estimated by the fire department at $5,000.
