A house fire in the 800 block of West 11th street closed down portions of a main artery into downtown Sioux Falls Tuesday October 6 during morning rush hour.  Fire crews responded to a fire on the upper floor where a fireplace may have caused the flames.  No one appeared to be home at the time and the house currently has a for sale sign in the yard.  The red cross has been notified for potential assistance needed if the home was still occupied.
