Reward Offered To Find St. Paul Arsonist
Updated
On: Jul 22, 2008 (22:20:00)
No arrests have been made in an arson at a St. Paul apartment building and a $2,500 reward is being offered for information, the fire marshal said today.
The fire in the Como neighborhood Friday night led to one resident jumping out a second-story window and another tying bedsheets together to escape from the third floor.
Two of the five people rescued by St. Paul firefighters were taken to Regions Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, said Fire Marshal Steve Zaccard.
Firefighters were called to the fire at 1668 Hamline Ave., an 11-unit building, just before 10 p.m. Friday.
A reward of up to $2,500 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest, Zaccard said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Minnesota Arson Hotline at 800-723-2020. Callers' information can be kept confidential, Zaccard said.

Fire Crews Rescue Five From Fire
Updated
On: Jul 19, 2008 (21:41:00)
VIDEO FROM WCCO TV-4
The first call to 911 came in just before 10 p.m. to the apartment building located at 1668 North Larpenteur, near the corner of Hamline and Larpenteur.
"The flames started coming out the door, and all of a sudden, I could see the flames coming out of the upper windows," said Robin Pettit. She and her husband, Bob Pettit, were at the gas station across the street and they ran to help. She called 911, and he went straight for the building to see who was inside.
There are eleven units in the building.
Bob found John Thoreson in his apartment. "I told him just stand back, so I just grabbed the window and ripped it right out, and I tried to throw it to the side, so he wouldn't get cut on his feet when he got down, and I grabbed his leg, and we just tried to lower him down to the ground," Bob recalled.
"They're trying to get us out! I heard them running around out there. I went to the window, and they're there, and they're saying, 'Get out! Get out!'" recalled Thoreson. "And I jumped down to where these guys were. They all caught me before I hit the ground, and I got out, thankfully, and God, I'm still kind of shaken a little bit. Something like this has never happened to me before."
About 30 St. Paul Firefighters battled the flames. They rescued five people in the building via ladders.
Fire Department Paramedics transported two of those people to Regions Hospital, but none of their injuries are life-threatening.
One person from the third floor had to go out the window by tying sheets together.
Witnesses said some clerks at the gas station across the street grabbed fire extinguishers ran to the building and helped put out the flames even before firefighters got to the scene. The St. Paul Fire Marshal said he's not sure yet how the fire started.

More than two months after the early morning fire, the charred remains of a duplex on Aurora Avenue serves as a reminder of the bravery of 11 St. Paul firefighters who saved a man's life. Officials said an arsonist started the blaze on April 20.
When crews arrived, they were briefed and discovered more than a dozen people from two families occupied the home. It was unknown who might still be inside.
But Fire Captain Alan Gabriele and his team from Squad 3 didn't think twice before heading into the burning building to search for survivors. "You couldn't see your hand in front of your face, I was in there with two other members from my crew, we couldn't see each other, we could hear each other," Gabriele recalled.
Searching the home's rooms, one-by-one, from left to right, they were able to find a 19-year-old man. "He was unconscious. He was on the floor and was overcome by the smoke," Gabriele said.
His team was able to lift the man out of a window and to the safety of an ambulance. Officials said if the firefighters hadn't found the man, he would have died of smoke inhalation. No one else was injured.
"It makes you feel good, but that's what we're there for and what you are always hoping to do," Gabriele said. In all, 11 firefighters will receive honors for their bravery on Monday.
