(KNSI) – The fire that destroyed a shop in Meeker County is under investigation by the Minnesota Fire Marshal’s Office.

The sheriff’s office says firefighters were called around 10:45 on Saturday night to the 300-block of East Curran Street in Darwin.

First responders found a shop with attached storage sheds fully engulfed in flames. Deputies evacuated a nearby apartment building due to the size and intensity of the fire. The shop was owned by
73-year-old Harvey Riebe of Darwin and was a total loss. The cause of the fire is unknown.

There was no damage to the apartment building and no reported injuries. The residents were allowed back to their apartments after the fire was out.

The Dassel Fire Department, Litchfield Fire Department, Litchfield Rescue Squad, Cokato Fire Department, Mayo Ambulance and
Meeker County Deputies responded to the scene.
