According to the sheriff’s department, the Osakis Fire Department was fighting a fire in a silo in rural Osakis Saturday morning when the top blew off and crashed down onto two fire trucks. One was so heavily damaged it was taken out of service.

A firefighter was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Alexandria and Villard fire departments, Osakis First Responders and North Ambulance assisted at the scene.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
