About 20 people were displaced after an early Thursday fire at townhomes in Mahtomedi.

“Fortunately all occupants were able to escape without injury,” the Mahtomedi Fire Department said of the fire in the 900 block of Ledgestone Drive at 5:40 a.m. Thursday.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office, which assisted, said deputies saw two units of the six-unit townhome structure were engulfed in flames when they arrived. Firefighters from Stillwater, Oakdale, Lake Elmo, White Bear Lake and Vadnais Heights helped Mahtomedi firefighters in putting out the fire.

The cause of the blaze is under investigation. The Red Cross was contacted to assist families as needed.
