Three people were injured — one critically — in a house fire early Thursday in Minneapolis. Fire officials say a Minnesota state trooper spotted the fire and went into the burning home to help evacuate the residents.
The fire was reported just before 1 a.m. on 29th Avenue South, just south of Interstate 94.
It was the state trooper who reported the fire — with heavy smoke and flames coming from the rear of the two-story home.
“Before firefighters arrived, the state trooper entered the home and assisted two residents out of the structure. Crews were informed that one additional resident remained inside. Firefighters quickly deployed hose lines to attack the fire while another crew made entry to conduct a rescue,” the Minneapolis Fire Department reported.
