• Received a 911 call at 3:24 p.m. Friday about a structure fire at Schweiss Bi-Fold Doors, in the 72000 block of 470th Street, Martinsburg Township, rural Hector. A preliminary investigation revealed a fire in a robotic welding shop wall believed to have started after a large, exterior gutter was welded to the building the previous day.

It was believed the wall and ceiling insulation began to smolder and later caught fire due to heat caused from welding the gutter to the building. A damage estimate was not yet determined. No one was injured in the fire.

Assisting agencies included Fairfax and Hector Fire Departments, Fairfax Ambulance Service and the Renville County Sheriff’s Office.
