Good morning, Minot.

A structure fire on Friday night at 618 14th Street NW in Minot displaced a family and killed four animals as firefighters rescued three cats while efforts to save three dogs and one cat failed, with no injuries reported.

Minot poets and wordsmiths may submit original anthem poems by midnight Monday, April 21 to honor the community’s strength and unity.
