MINNEAPOLIS — A house in Minneapolis caught fire twice within 12 hours, prompting an investigation by the city’s fire department.

The Minneapolis Fire Department says six adults and a dog were displaced as a result of the fire.

Crews responded to 3204 Fourth Ave. Thursday just before 11 p.m. S. due to the report of smoke in the attic of a two-story house.
