Fire forces evacuation at Fort Dodge senior housing building
A downtown Fort Dodge apartment building for seniors was evacuated after a fire on the fifth floor. A police officer entered the smoke filled stairway to rescue residents and was treated for smoke inhalation and kept overnight in stable condition. Firefighters used a ladder to assist a woman and officer from the fifth floor. Authorities said the fire likely started from a cigarette or ember igniting a chair in a renovated hotel used as housing for seniors and those needing daily living assistance.
