DILWORTH, Minn. (KFGO) – Fire destroyed a large machine shop several miles north of Dilworth. It was reported shortly before midnight Wednesday at 4843 50th Street North.
Fire Chief and Clay County Sheriff Mark Empting says the structure was fully involved when first fire crews arrived on the scene. He says flames were intense and there was no way to save the structure which is a total loss.
Equipment in the shop was also destroyed. Firefighters were on scene for some time, making sure the fire didn’t spread to the surrounding area.
Empting says the state fire marshal’s office will be on scene Thursday to try to determine the cause.
