MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Authorities say a 6-year-old girl had to be hospitalized Friday morning and was one of 10 people displaced after a house fire in north Minneapolis.
Crews responded to the area of 25th Avenue and 4th Street North early Friday morning on a report of a fire. When authorities arrived, there was a fire in an upper apartment of a duplex. A 6-year-old girl was trapped in a bedroom and had to be rescued. She was taken to North Memorial Medical Center for smoke inhalation.
