Large FIRE at New Vikings Stadium!!

The construction firm working on project confirmed there had been fire, which workers extinguished immediately.

The workers were welding metal decks and sparks fell onto nearby insulation material, said a representative from Mortenson.

The representative said no one was injured in the incident and work continued immediately afterward.

The image of the fire (linked in story) looks bad, but is just the result of insulation burning.

Small House Fire in Columbia Heights

4-29-2011 5pm. I left the Heights Library and followed the sent of smoke to a small fire a few blocks away. It looks like the home of the family that runs the Ecuadorian Cab Company is going to be lost to fire, smoke, and water damage. It was sad to see the kids sitting across the street from their family home, crying as it burned.

From KARE 11
MINNEAPOLIS -- Fire crews spent the early morning hours of Tuesday working a stubborn fire that destroyed a business and apartment building in south Minneapolis.

A 911 call brought firefighters to the Cedar Food and Grill at 2600 Cedar Avenue South just after 1:30 a.m.. When crews arrived flames were leaping through the ceiling of the structure. Two upper apartments were quickly searched, and it was determined that residents had safely escaped.

Eventually the main floor of the business collapsed, chasing firefighters from the structure. They spent hours fighting the stubborn blaze, trying to extinguish flames that were trapped between the collapsed rubble of the first and second floors.



Mohd Wadi had owned the business for the past five years. He tells KARE 11 that he got a call from his security company around 1:30 a.m. reporting a break-in. Shortly after that he received another call telling him the building was on fire.

Wadi says his business had 6 employees, people who will now be looking for work.

The good news from the scene is that no one was hurt. The Red Cross is helping residents of one of the apartments with shelter, food and clothing.

At this point investigators aren't sure about the cause of the fire.
