Crews battle 3-alarm fire at Maple Grove printing press
MAPLE GROVE, Minn. -- Fire crews are battling a three-alarm blaze at a business in Maple Grove Monday evening.
Few details were immediately available, but the city's fire chief Tim Bush says that the fire is on the 7400 block of Kilmer Lane North. A printing press inside the business has apparently caught fire, producing what crews are calling an "excessive amount" of smoke.
The sprinklers are working in the building, which is helping to keep the fire under control. The third alarm was issued, in part, to ensure sufficient staffing due to the ventilation issues from the smoke.
Firefighters are still working to get the building ventilated enough that they can turn off the sprinklers and extinguish the fire completely.
No apparent cause was immediately released, nor were there any reports of injuries at this point.
