The state fire marshal and the fire investigator from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are working with the New Ulm Fire Department to investigate the scene. . . The New Ulm Police Department said the call for the fire at 304 South German came in at 1:44 a.m. on Saturday, from a driver that was passing by.

Macho said the fire appears to have started on the porch facing German Street, and it quickly climbed the exterior of the building before moving inwards.

"It was fast," said Macho, "I'd guess it took 15 minutes before it was engulfed."

When New Ulm Fire arrived, the front side of the building was covered with fire. Working in two teams, firefighters made multiple attempts to pull people from the second and third floor. Four people were rescued, but firefighters were unable to rescue the other people still in the building because of the intense heat.
