Faribault Fire Department

Firefighters rushed to a late-night blaze in Faribault, quickly dousing flames that could have been avoided. It’s a wake-up call for all of us about kitchen vigilance.

It was determined a burn barrel was the source of ignition. Dustin Dienst, Faribault Fire Chief says, "Burn barrels are illegal and this is one of the reasons why."

There were no injuries and a cause was determined.

Chief Dienst commented, "This fire is suspicious but due to circumstances out of our control, determining a cause will be a challenge. No one was hurt in the incident and that's what matters most."

Dustin Dienst, Fire Chief says the ceremony will start at 7:46 a.m. which was the time the first plane struck the World Trade Centre in New York City.
