Overview
- Fire crews were dispatched shortly after 5 p.m. to a home near 30th Avenue South and East 43rd Street in the Ericsson neighborhood.
- Firefighters pulled two occupants from the residence and transported them to the hospital in critical condition.
- Crews reported the interior was over packed with items, which complicated the search and access to the flames.
- The fire burned through the first floor into the basement and through walls into the attic, leaving the home uninhabitable.
- Command called a second alarm to rotate personnel and conduct extensive overhaul, and a Metro Transit bus served as a warming shelter.
