A man and woman were killed Sunday night in a mobile home fire in Inver Grove Heights.
The blaze broke out just before 8 p.m. in the Skyline Village mobile home park off Concord Boulevard, Fire Chief Judy Thill said.
A man called 911 to report smoke coming from the Royal Avenue home. The caller knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Police officers who arrived and confirmed there were possibly two people inside.
Firefighters used a thermal imaging camera to locate the woman and remove her from the home.
The camera also located the man, but firefighters had to knock down the fire to get to him before he could be removed, Thill said.
Life-saving measures began, and the couple was rushed to the hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
Firefighters continued to fight the fire for another hour. No other injuries were reported.
Inver Grove Heights police and the Minnesota state fire marshal’s office are investigating.
