Chris Buckley reports from our Range Bureau.

Pat Green from Hibbing's building office says there was a leak in the building's roof and the water coming into the building's electrical room made it a fire hazard.

Residents were ordered to move out until the problem is fixed that left some of them scrambling to find a place to go.

"There's elderly people, people on social security and there's some pretty bad-off people, everyone feels like we're getting a bad deal, maybe we should have had a little more notice"

Lee paid to spend Wednesday night at a hotel fire marshal Jim Lammatteo says crews are on scene and the problem should be fixed in the next day or two.
