DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) - A fire official says 22 people have been displaced after a fire at a triplex in Dubuque.
Assistant Fire Marshal Mike McMahon said that firefighters were dispatched to the triplex Wednesday night. McMahon said that a passerby noticed smoke coming from the attic and alerted residents.

McMahon said that it seems there was an electrical fire in the attic. He said that 11 people occupied the basement apartment, five people occupied the first-floor apartment and six people lived in the second-floor apartment.
The American Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents.
