According to the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office, crews responded shortly before 2 a.m. to a fire at Bergen’s Greenhouse, located in the 13800 block of Lake Drive in Columbus. An explosion was reported and the fire quickly engulfed the massive, 12-acre structure.
“The greenhouse is pretty much decimated,” said Cdr. Paul Sommer.
He added that the scene was extremely hazardous for firefighters, as they didn’t know what kind of chemicals the greenhouse contained. “It’s a very large operation,” Sommer said, “any number of chemicals could have caused an explosion, including propane, fertilizers and various chemicals.” Still, no injuries were reported.
