SIOUX CITY (KTIV) – A fire was reported Sunday night on the Morningside University campus in Sioux City. According to KTIV-TV, Sioux City Fire Rescue personnel responded to the Joan L. and Norm Wait Senior Apartments at 3500 Peters Ave, on the university’s campus. Crews were initially called to the scene for a reported fire alarm. Once on scene, they determined a fire had been extinguished by the building’s sprinkler system.

Sioux City Fire Rescue Assistant Fire Chief Frank Fulton told KTIV that the cause was something next to a space heater that caught fire. Morningside University says no students, faculty, or staff were injured during the incident. University officials say one residential unit was affected.

Students residing in the unit were temporarily relocated to other on-campus housing.
