Woman in her 80s, 2 dogs rescued from Minneapolis house fire
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minneapolis Fire Department rescued a woman in her 80s from a burning home on Wednesday.
According to the department, firefighters responded to a blaze at a house on the 4400 block of Blaisdell Avenue just before 2 p.m.
Heavy smoke was pouring from the home and a woman was calling for help from a second-floor window. Firefighters used a ladder and rescue webbing to get her down due to "minimal mobility," the department said. She was taken to a hospital to be evaluated.
Crews also rescued two dogs from the house before extinguishing the fire.
