EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (KMSP) - One person suffered minor burns and a firefighter was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation after an overnight house fire in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The fire started at about 12:30 a.m. Monday on the 7500 block of Ontario Boulevard.
When crews arrived, flames were shooting from the front and side of the home. Everyone inside was able to make it out, but one person suffered minor burns.
