The Crookston Fire Department responded to a fire shortly after 11:00 a.m. at the 300 block of 3rd Avenue South in Crookston Tuesday morning. “We got dispatched for a reported snowmobile fire inside an attached garage. Upon arrival it was fully involved inside the garage with a pickup and boat so there was a lot of fuel on the ground and we had to deal with that ” said Crookston Fire Chief Tim Froeber. “It burned through the roof in one area almost prior to our arrival. It was a fast-moving fire and the guys did a really good job and we were able to stop the fire from going into the house. We were able to back it back into the garage and made a good save on the house even though there is a lot of smoke damage in there.”
There were no injuries to occupants or firefighters.
