Crews battle large fire at Maple Grove business
MAPLE GROVE, Minn. -- An investigation is underway after a large fire destroyed a building at a Maple Grove business Sunday morning.
According to city officials, multiple 911 callers reported the building on fire just after 4:30 a.m. near the KOA campground. When police and fire crews responded, they found the fire at a business on a property just north of the campground.
A metal building at Commercial Black Dirt Inc. was fully engulfed in fire. Additional assistance from surrounding agencies was requested due to a lack of available hydrants at the business.
The fire was under control just before 6 a.m.
City officials say the building was used as a type of garage for minor maintenance and equipment storage.
The building was unoccupied at the time of the fire and there were no injuries.
So far, the origin and cause of the fire have not been determined by investigators due to the heavy damage and freezing temperatures.
