FIRE CAUSED MODERATE DAMAGE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO ONE OF THE BUILDINGS AT THE GLEN OAKS APARTMENTS ON THE CITY'S NORTH SIDE.        

SIOUX CITY FIRE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER JESSE PEDERSEN SAYS THE BLAZE STARTED ON THE THIRD FLOOR EXTERIOR OF AN APARTMENT UNIT:

SEVERAL RESIDENTS TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE, BUT BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION WERE NOT ABLE TO PUT IT OUT. 

TWO RESIDENTS WERE DISPLACED BY THE FIRE. THE INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE IS CONTINUING.

 SIOUX CITY POLICE ARE SEARCHING AN AREA AROUND RAVINE PARK AND BEHIND THE CITY'S WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.

A DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN SAYS A CELL PHONE CALL WAS RECEIVED FROM AN UNKNOWN PERSON IN THAT AREA WHO CLAIMED HE HAD BEEN SHOT.

POLICE HAVE NOT FOUND A VICTIM NOR ANYONE ARMED IN THAT AREA.  THE STREET LEADING INTO THE AREA HAS BEEN BLOCKED OFF. OFFICERS ARE CONTINUING TO SEARCH THE AREA IN THE 5PM HOUR.

  AMERICAN EAGLE'S PASSENGER SERVICE FROM SIOUX CITY TO CHICAGO HAD A GOOD FIRST MONTH ACCORDING TO FIGURES RELEASED BY SIOUX GATEWAY AIRPORT.

THE NEW AIRLINE HAD 2,067 PASSENGERS FLY OUT OF SIOUX CITY IN APRIL, WITH 2,082 CUSTOMERS FLYING INTO TOWN.

WHEN YOU INCLUDE THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS OF SERVICE FROM DELTA TO START THE MONTH, PASSENGER TRAFFIC WAS UP SEVEN PER CENT IN SIOUX CITY COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
  

IF YOU RIDE THE TRANSIT BUS IN SIOUX CITY, YOU MAY BE WALKING A FEW EXTRA BLOCKS TO CATCH A RIDE OR TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION AFTER THE END OF YOUR RIDE.

TRANSIT SUPVERVISOR JEFF HARCUM SAYS CITY BUSES WILL NOW STOP ONLY AT DESIGNATED FIXED STOPS ON EACH BUS ROUTE:

SIGNS DESIGNATING THE STOPS HAVE BEEN POSTED AND NEW SCHEDULES EXPLAINING THE FIXED STOPS ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED TO PASSENGERS.

HARCUM SAYS THE FIXED STOPS WILL BE SAFER AND ALSO MORE ECONOMICAL FOR THE TRANSIT SYSTEM:

BUS DRIVERS STARTED TRANSITIONING TO THE NEW SYSTEM ON MAY 7TH.
