An apartment house was destroyed, but no one was injured in a Wednesday morning fire.

According to St. Joseph Fire Department Fire Inspector Mindy Andrasevits, the fire at 122 North 13th St. was reported at 11 a.m. on Wednesday. Two people were at the five-unit apartment at the time of the fire but they, along with pets, were able to get out of the building safely.

Andrasevits said fire crews were on scene until 3:50 p.m. and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Andrasevits said the house is on the historic registry and was built in the 1800s.
