A fire in a Vadnais Heights townhome sent three children and an adult to the hospital over the weekend. Firefighters went into the burning residence and rescued two young children. The children, along with another child and an adult who were able to escape the townhome, were transported to Regions Hospital, according to Vadnais Heights Fire Chief Chris Hearden. Information about their conditions wasn’t known Monday. The Vadnais Heights Fire Department was dispatched to the townhome complex about 5:40 p.m. Saturday in the 1000 block of Ramsey County Road D E. Fire crews saw “active fire and heavy smoke conditions from one of the townhomes,” Hearden said. Vadnais Heights was assisted by the Maplewood, Little Canada and White Bear Lake Fire Departments in their response. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
