Investigators say two recent fires at apartment complexes in Lawrence caused multiple relocations but are not tied to foul play. At 1904 W. 24th St residents were displaced, one non life threateningly injured, and a car rescued. A second fire at 521 Minnesota St. sent two residents to LMH, with one hospitalized. Both blazes under control by late night.
