ROSEVILLE, Minn. — The cause of a fire that resulted in two adults being sent to the Hennepin County Medical Center for smoke inhalation is under investigation.
Roseville emergency responders initially received the call at 7:26 a.m. on Sunday and were on the scene on the 2700 block of Asbury Street four minutes later, according to a release.
