Wadena fire destroys shed
Published Tuesday, February 6, 2007
Fire destroyed a shed belonging to Joe and Dixie Murray, rural Wadena, Monday noon. Joe Murray told the Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Department he parked his Bobcat skid steer in the shed and plugged in its block heater.
“I wasn’t gone more than five minutes when I was on my way home and noticed the Wadena Fire Department behind me,” Murray told the department.
The shed contained a lawnmower, two skid steers, swather and antique seed drill. Murray estimated the damage at $25,000. Cause of the fire is yet undetermined, but it is believed to be electrical, the sheriff’s department said.
