Incident Description:
On December 9, 2019, KVRR reported a grain dryer fire at a farm in Clay County, Minnesota.
According to the sheriff, fire crews got the fire under control, but it re-ignited and equipment had to be brought in to remove snow so that they could access the flames. The incident was at the site of a large shop that had been destroyed by fire in November.
The Salvation Army loaned a trailer to help frozen firefighters warm up. No injuries were reported.
