At least two people were rescued from a burning apartment building in Loretto early Tuesday.
Flames were shooting out of the basement of the three-story building near the intersection of Medina and Loretto streets when firefighters arrived at about 2 a.m., Loretto Fire Chief Jeff Leuer told KSTP-TV.
Two people were hanging out of third-story windows and were rescued. Three other people inside the building got out safely, the chief said.
It was not immediately clear how the fire started.
Loretto is a town of about 650 people in western Hennepin County.
