Fire Marshal investigates St. Cloud fire in solar field
St. Cloud Fire Marshal Brian Kiffmeyer is investigating the origin of a Nov. 6 fire that took place in a St. Cloud solar panel farm off Franklin Road South. The fire, according to the incident report, was contained to a single transformer. St. Cloud Fire Deputy Chief Tony Lorenz said there were no injuries and no ongoing threat to the other panels in the field. According to the 2024 fire in Minnesota report, fires are recorded in three main categories: structural, vehicle and “other.” State Fire Marshal Dan Krier said in the report that recent years have seen a large increase in the “other” category — 43% in 2024 alone. While this fire’s origin is still being investigated, “other” fires like this one are often caused by weather incidents. “Other” fires are also mostly reported in Greater Minnesota, with the Twin Cities metro area making up 45% of “other” fires, 46% of vehicle fires and 56% of structure fires in 2024.
