(KNSI) — The cause of a massive fire at the Holdingford Feed Mill Sunday night is under investigation.
According to the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office, around 7:40, 911 calls began to flood in about flames and explosions at the mill, and when deputies arrived, they found the fire had spread to other areas. Ten departments responded and put out the flames. The state fire marshal has been called to investigate.
While nearby grain bins are still standing, the building is a total loss. No one was at the business when the fire started.
