A unidentified man one witness called "an angel" pounded on the apartment doors upstairs to evacuate sleeping residents.
Updated 4 p.m. Chief Schuberg reported that the fire was caused by a freezer unit in the kitchen and it was electrical in nature. Dajna Novakovic, whose family owns the Pizza Station business, said they hoped to re-open the restaurant but at this point were still assessing damage with insurance agents.
