Firefighters rescued a woman and a cat from a blaze at a Whittier neighborhood apartment Sunday morning.

The cause of the kitchen fire at 25 E. 25th St. is under investigation, the Minneapolis Fire Department posted on X.

No injuries were reported at the building, which is a few blocks from the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Crews extinguished the flames around 11:15 a.m., and authorities deemed the fire-scorched apartment uninhabitable.

The Red Cross was called to assist three adults and one cat the blaze displaced.
