A grain elevator in Minneapolis has been boarded up after a fire broke out Wednesday night.
Crews were called to the building just off Hiawatha Avenue and East 38th Street around 9:45 p.m.
When they arrived, they found the doors had been opened, and there were squatters inside. Crews also found a fire on the first floor.
The fire was quickly extinguished.
Fire officials say one person was checked out for a hand injury that wasn’t related to the fire.
