FRANKLIN — The Renville County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call reporting a house on fire on the 41000 block of 660th Avenue at 5:56 p.m Monday.

This location is approximately 3 miles northeast of Franklin in Bandon Township.

The caller reported that there were flames coming out of the kitchen and that both occupants of the trailer house were outside.
