Somali families displaced by Salt Lake City fire

Authorities say 19 Somali refugees were forced out of their homes after fire damaged a duplex apartment building in Salt Lake City.

No injuries are reported after the Thursday night fire near 700 East and 1500 South.

A resident tells KSL-TV that four adults and 15 children live in the two apartments. They've been in the U.S. for five years.

An American Red Cross official says the agency is providing food, shelter and clothing.

Fire investigators are still trying to determine what caused the fire.
