Emergency responders treated an adult who suffered burns and two children with smoke inhalation after a Saturday afternoon fire at a townhouse in Minneapolis' Little Earth of the United Tribes housing development.
Firefighters responded around 4 p.m. to a row of townhouses on the 2400 block of Ogema Place, according to fire officials. Residents were evacuated from the surrounding homes as crews battled the blaze for more than two hours.
Three people, including two children, were treated by paramedics. Their conditions were not immediately known.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The Red Cross arrived at the scene to aid 13 displaced residents in three families.
