A fire erupted before dawn at the Francis Drake Hotel, a three-story building in Minneapolis that serves as temporary housing for the poor, leaving 250 people homeless on Christmas Day
- Fire swept a hotel apartment building that provides transitional housing for the poor in downtown Minneapolis early on Wednesday, leaving about 250 people homeless on Christmas morning, city officials said.
The cause was unknown, Fruetel said, adding that he expected it would take fire crews until Thursday to fully extinguish the blaze. With temperatures hovering just above freezing, the city immediately brought in transit buses to provide emergency shelter and warmth for displaced residents, Mayor Jacob Frey told a news briefing, adding that municipal agencies were working with the American Red Cross and other authorities to provide food, longer-term shelter, clothing and other needs for the evacuees.
