Fire located in private home near elementary school
At about 7 a.m. on Wednesday, July 23, the Brooten Fire Department and Brooten Ambulance responded to a fire call on School Avenue. The fire was located in a private home that is currently unoccupied and for sale. According to eyewitnesses, work was being done inside the home in previous days, and a buyer was preparing for closing in the coming days. The Minnesota State Fire Marshal was on the scene conducting their work to determine what happened.
Complicating the response was a heavy rainfall that also started the same morning. In the span of a little more than 2 hours Wednesday morning, the city of Brooten received over 2.5 inches of rain.
The attached video features the scene after the fire fighters finished their work.
