Fire Causes Minor Damage At Okoboji Business

November 22, 2014

(Okoboji)– The Arnolds Park-0koboji Fire Department was called to the scene of a minor fire Tuesday at Shaw Paint, Glass and Locksmithing in Okoboji.

The fire was confined to a small area on the southwest side of the building’s exterior. Officials say a blanket that had some solvents on it apparently combusted spontaneously. The fire spread to a nearby lumber rack and got under a small area of the building’s metal siding. A worker with a hose had most of the fire put out when firefighters arrived.

Damage was very minimal and was confined to only a small area on the southwest side of the building.

No injuries were reported and the store remains open for business.

Firefighters were on the scene about 45 minutes.
