VIDEO: Fargo fire crews are called out after someone believes a fire was intentionally set. When fire crews arrived at 4430 9th Avenue South they found a towel that appeared to have blown off a balcony of an apartment unit on the ground near an electrical box. They say a cigarette was not properly disposed of and it set the towel on fire. Officials say when living in such close proximity it's important to stay aware of your surroundings. "Take care of your neighbors, take care of yourself. If you see something that's being an unsafe practice make sure the apartment manager's know it's happening and make sure it gets corrected. The sooner before something bad happens," says Lt. Keith Johnson of the Fargo Fire Department. There was no sign of arson and the fire department has declared it accidental.
