LAKE CITY, Minn. — One person died in a weekend house fire in Lake City.
The Lake City Fire Department was dispatched shortly before 7 a.m. Sunday for a “fully involved structure fire” with multiple people trapped inside, according to a post on the department’s Facebook page.
When crews arrived on the scene, smoke and fire were showing on all four sides of the house as well as the roof line. The front porch had also collapsed on the two-story, multi-family building.
As firefighters searched the house, a young female was rescued from a second-floor window. She was stabilized and hospitalized. Another person was found dead.
The second floor of the home had partially collapsed. Crews spent about seven hours on the scene.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and the victim’s identity wasn’t immediately disclosed.
