Bloomington firefighters rescued one person from a second-floor balcony as fire burned through a 16-unit condo building on Aldrich Avenue early Monday morning. About 20 other residents safely evacuated the building.
The fire was reported at 6:12 a.m. on the 8700 block of Aldrich Avenue S., filling the entire block with smoke.
There were no reports of serious injuries, but firefighters administered oxygen to a dog that suffered from smoke inhalation. The Red Cross will be helping displaced residents with temporary shelter.
