Fire and smoke billowed from a St. Paul home early Saturday morning, leaving one person hospitalized in serious but stable condition.

St. Paul firefighters rushed to the home in the 200 block of Edmund Avenue in Frogtown about 5 a.m. to find smoke rolling out of its windows.

Fire Department spokesman Jamie Smith said the injured person was rescued through a window and taken to a hospital. The fire was quickly put out.

Firefighters were told another person was inside the home, but a search found no one. No other injuries were reported, and fire investigators were looking into what caused the blaze.
