(KNSI) — A malfunctioning commercial coffee roaster may be to blame for a fire in St. Cloud Thursday afternoon.
The St. Cloud Fire Department was called just before 2:00 for a fire in a commercial coffee roaster on the 900 block of Cooper Avenue. The coffee shop was evacuated while the fire was put out and the smoke was ventilated. No one was hurt, and the coffee shop reopened for business a short time later.
Damage is estimated at $20,000.
