According to the Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office, authorities received a call of a fire at 509 Morin St., owned by John and Jamie Leibeg, at 11:05 p.m. Sunday.
When deputies arrived, they made sure that any residents were out of the home and also at one point evacuated the nearby neighbors, the release stated.
Flames could be seen coming out of the upper floor, said Freeborn County Chief Deputy Gene Arnold.
