ST. LOUIS (AP) — Firefighters in St. Louis have rescued a family from the third floor of a burning apartment complex. Television station KMOV reports that the fire broke out Monday night, and witnesses reported the family trapped and begging for help. Firefighters who arrived on the scene say the family was blocked from an exit on the third floor as the fire spread. Crews were able to ferry the family — including an infant — to safety. A fire official said the blaze was caused by a kitchen grease fire that got out of control in a second-floor unit. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, and no one was injured.
