Apartment Fire In Little Canada Prompts Evacuation

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Heavy smoke from a fire at an apartment building in Little Canada Saturday night left some residents trapped in the building.

Authorities say someone set a couch on fire in the stairwell of the apartment building at 153 Little Canada Road. Several people were trapped on balconies of the building, unable to get through the heavy smoke pouring through the hallways.
