Firefighters tackled a stubborn fire that spread through a one-story home in St. Paul on Nov. 23.
The fire on Arkwright Street North was dispatched around 2 p.m. and companies found heavy fire in the basement and first floor of the one-story home.
Three hoselines were put in service to knock down the fire on both levels of the home.
The two occupants escaped before firefighters arrived.
About 30 firefighters staffing four engines, two truck, two squads and two medics worked under the command of two district chiefs.
