UPDATED: 11:45 a.m.
DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Fire crews from Detroit Lakes, Audubon and Frazee battled a structure fire at Country Fields Greenhouse along Richwood Road in Detroit Lakes, Friday.
The fire was reported just after 10 a.m. in the entryway of the home on the property and spread to the roofline of the home and attached garage. Flames could be seen coming from underneath the metal roof of the home, fire crews needed to cut into the roof, but were able to extinguish the fire just after 11 a.m. and then brought in an insulation vacuum from the Wolf Lake Fire Department to remove insulation from the structure.
Water was shut off to the property including the greenhouses, putting the business’ plants at risk. “Sheriff Glander is trying to reach out to a couple individuals that have water trucks to see if they could potentially assist the business with a temporary water supply,” said Detroit Lakes Fire Chief Ryan Swanson.
No one was hurt in the fire; the State Fire Marshal is investigating the cause.
In a Facebook post, Friday afternoon the business has indicated they have reopened, “Country Fields Greenhouse is back open for business. There was a fire, everyone is safe. Customer Appreciation Day is still scheduled for Tuesday. We hope to see you there”.
