A woman in her 40s fainted outside of the building and was taken by paramedics to St. Anthony Hospital in good condition, according to Merritt, who said it was unrelated to the fire.

Four people were displaced from their homes, he said. The cause of the fire hasn’t been determined.

Merritt said there were no working smoke detectors.
