Early morning outdoor fire under investigation in south Fargo

FARGO (KVRR/KFGO) – An investigation is underway into the cause of a fire early Thursday morning in south Fargo.

The fire was reported shortly before 1:30 a.m. in the parking lot behind a row of businesses in the 1300 block of 34th Street, near 13th Avenue South.

Fire Department Battalion Chief Brad Besette says the furniture stacked outside the building, next to a large electrical box, was on fire and then spread to a portion of a high fence, melting it.

Fire crews stretched water lines and extinguished the fire. Firefighters were on scene for almost 2 hours. The building was not damaged, but partially lost power.

There were no injuries.
