(KNSI) — The St. Cloud Fire Department says a garage fire caused thousands in damage Sunday morning and took down nearby power lines.
They were called to the fire on the 900 block of 11th Avenue South at 2:25 and found a detached garage that was fully involved, and power lines in the area were on the ground. Firefighters got the fire out but say they had to lay multiple hose lines to protect area homes. The fire did not spread to other structures, and no one was hurt.
The loss is estimated at $40,000.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
