Car fire leads to destruction of family business in Nobles County

ADRIAN, Minn. — A family's business, including its two machine shops, was destroyed by fire Sunday in the southwestern Minnesota town of Adrian.

The Adrian Fire Department says crews were called at about 3:15 p.m. to the Chad Hokeness farm, located on the 23400 block of Edwards Avenue.

The fire started in a vehicle parked behind the buildings, and it soon spread to the machine shops and the building that connected the two.
