    Two Minneapolis firefighters are safe after diving from a second story window to escape a burning home.

    It happened on the 3000 block of California St. NE in Minneapolis early just after Midnight Tuesday.

    The Battalion Chief said the flames inside were too intense and firefighters were ordered out.

    No one was injured, but the home is a total loss.

    Firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading to other homes.

    The Red Cross is helping the two families who lived in the home.
