According to a report from KARE, the Loretto (MN) Fire Department (LFD) pulled two residents from the third floor of a burning apartment building on Loretto and Medina Streets early Tuesday morning.

LFD officials said no injuries have been reported, but the building’s first and second floors suffered extensive damage.

LFD Chief Jeff Leuer said the building contained five units, all of which were occupied on arrival.
