Fargo firefighters responded to a deck fire on the third floor of an apartment building. Officials say they responded to a deck fire at 3061 32nd Street South around 7:57 p.m. Embers and burning materials were dropping down and landing on the second floor balcony, starting a small fire. Crews were able to extinguish most of the fire from the ground. They then entered an unoccupied apartment and fully extinguish the fire. Smoldering materials on the second floor balcony were extinguished as well. There were no signs of injury to firefighters or bystanders. The fire was started by improperly discarded smoking materials in potting soil. Damage is estimated at under $1,000. Officials say the tenant thought she put out the cigarette in a planter. Unfortunately, the planter she used contained materials other than dirt that can cause the fire to spread.
