An east metro garden center is assessing the damage following a fire that started inside a large greenhouse Sunday evening.
Fire crews were dispatched shortly after 6:30 p.m. to Gertens Garden Center & Nursery in Inver Grove Heights on reports of a significant fire. When engines arrived the fire was immediately upgraded to a second alarm, and eventually a third which brought in personnel from neighboring departments to cover the city in case of additional emergency calls.
In a news release late Sunday Inver Grove Heights Fire Chief Judy Thill said limited access to the structure, a large woodchip pile inside the greenhouse, long hose runs and icy conditions made the job difficult. At this point the cause of the fire is listed as unknown.
