According to a press release from the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office, around 3:45, two neighbors noticed smoke coming from a detached outbuilding near a home and called 911. The 58-year-old property owner was not home at the time. The family dog was inside the outbuilding, where it was found dead. Hess was the last person in the outbuilding at approximately 2:00 p.m. and did not notice anything suspicious.
The fire is under investigation by the Minnesota State Fire Marshal.
