Three-Alarm Fire Ravages Edina Home
Edina, Minn., March 26, 2013 – A large fire in the 5200 block of Green Farms Road in Edina destroyed a home, leaving a family homeless.
At approximately 3:05 p.m., a neighbor reported smoke and flames showing from the rear of the 1.5-story home. Fire crews arrived to find the home fully involved in fire. A third alarm was called upon arrival, requesting mutual aid from more than seven surrounding fire departments. Hennepin County EMS and the Salvation Army were also on scene. Xcel Energy and CenterPoint were called to handle the home’s utilities.
No one was home at the time of the fire. No injuries were reported. The homeowner’s cat and dog are unaccounted for.
Fire crews worked for about two hours to knock down the fire, which caused extensive damage throughout the home. Several additional hours were spent checking for extension and extinguishing hot spots.
“We were fortunate no one was home at the time,” said Edina Fire Chief Marty Scheerer. “The fire spread throughout the house very quickly, which had the potential to be life-threatening if there was anyone inside. We were very fortunate there were no fatalities or injuries.”
The cause and origination of the fire is unknown and currently under investigation. The value of damage is undetermined, though the home is likely to be a total loss.
For more information, contact the Edina Fire Department at 952-826-0330.
