A neighborhood in western Sioux Falls was filled with sirens on Wednesday night, as fire trucks and rescue vehicles sped to a house fire that broke out around 9:00 PM that has left one person injured.

The fire started on Wednesday (June 17) in a home located on South Theodore Avenue near 41st Street and Sertoma Avenue.

Sioux Falls Fire Rescue battalion chief Steve Brunette told Dakota News Now, the person injured was treated by paramedics on the scene for a minor injury and is expected to be fine.
