(Radio Iowa) — Two firefighters were treated and released, and one person was rescued from a fire that destroyed the Tama building Saturday night in Burlington.
The initial call was made at 10:55 P-M Saturday. Burlington Firefighters arrived within four minutes of that call and began rescue efforts to save a woman who was trapped on the third floor of the building. She was uninjured and able to climb down a ladder under her own power. Witnesses say she was pulled from the building wearing only undergarments, it’s unclear why she was in the unoccupied building or if she was working with the crew on renovations. Her identity has not been released at this time.

The fire department says the building is a total loss, and unstable due to the partial collapse. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
