The two stall garage was fully in involved in flames, shooting several feet into the air when the units arrived on the scene, causing a large amount of smoke to billow<\/p>\n
On-lookers were kept a safe distance away by police, as the garage contained small ammunitions which could be heard popping at the height of the fire.<\/p>\n
A boat also sustained damage by the fire.<\/p>\n
An adjacent garage in the alley to the south had its siding burned and melted, but there appeared to be no structural damage. No other structures were involved.<\/p>\n
A power line was burned by the flames, and Otter Tail Power was called to the scene to attend the down wire and restore power to the area.<\/p>\n
Four city fire units and 20 fire fighters were on the scene just under an hour.<\/p>\n
No injuries reported.<\/p>\n
