Archived: Weekend Fire Near Albany Is Started In a Grain Bin

Crews reported to a grain bin fire Saturday morning.

Stearns County Sheriff Don Gudmundson says just after 9 a.m. they received a call from 66-year-old Earl Felling of Albany. Felling told officials he was drying grain in his grain bin when he noticed the bottom portion was on fire.

After the investigation the Stearns County Sheriff’s office says the fire is believed to have started when the aerator in the bin stopped working and the grain was left on the heater. No injuries were reported.
