Around half of the residents of a St. Paul, Minnesota, apartment complex displaced by a power outage and fire on Sunday have returned to their units, the city said Friday.
The city said residents in the east tower of Skyline Tower on St. Anthony Ave. were able to return to their homes. CommonBond Communities, the group that manages the complex, helped the roughly 386 people move back into 141 households.
Officials said over 140 units in the west tower sustained significant water damage and remain closed. In total, 773 residents in 487 households were displaced.
The fire happened on the 12th floor of the west tower around 12:23 a.m. City officials said crews quickly put out the fire, but were called back minutes later when the building's electrical system failed and activated sprink
