Grass Fire Destroys Home, Outbuildings In NE Minnesota
CHISHOLM, Minn. (AP) — Authorities say an outdoor wood stove apparently started a grass fire that destroyed a home and outbuildings in northeastern Minnesota.
The St. Louis County sheriff's office says the property owner in Chisholm reported the fire in the backyard about 11:45 a.m. Saturday. The fire then ran toward the home and outbuildings, starting the buildings on fire.
The home and outbuildings are a total loss.
The state fire marshal's office and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources are investigating.
