Overnight Fire Guts Fargo Building
On arrival, they found heavy smoke and fire coming from two units on the east half of the steel building.
FARGO, N.D. – A fire causes extensive damage to a commercial building in south Fargo.
Crews got the call at 9:30 Sunday night.
A fire inspector says a fire wall in the building contained the fire to the east half of the structure.
Fire crews forced themselves inside through an overhead garage door and were then able to get the blaze under control in 20 minutes.
They then put out hot spots for another hour and stayed throughout the rest of the night to make sure the fire didn’t reignite.
“With this being more of a heating and air conditioning place, there’s plenty of combustible materials and stuff that you may not be able to unbury right away and a fire watch will be able to do that if they see something smolder,” Dep. Fire Marshal with the Fargo Fire Department Kenton Chromey said.
No one is hurt and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
