A large fire has seriously damaged a home in north Minneapolis early Monday.
The fire occurred at a 2 1/2-story residential home in the area of Adams Street and 13th Avenue.
When firefighters arrived at the scene at about 4 a.m., they found flames coming from the attic.
One person was inside at the time and was able to make it safely to the backyard. That person was taken to a nearby hospital for smoke inhalation treatment. A firefighter was also taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of an unspecified injury.
The Minneapolis Fire Department then designated the incident as a two-alarm fire, requesting additional help.
