The fire was extinguished and no one was hurt, however, crews told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the heat and humidity made it more challenging.
"Once you throw on 65 pounds of gear and you’re wearing basically this insulated shell, you go through a lot of water really quickly and heat up really quickly," Maple Grove Fire Chief Tim Bush said. "It’s a lot of work so that’s why we need the extra help."
