A fire at Gertens in Inver Grove Heights that was seen on traffic cameras Sunday evening did not cause major damage.
The fire was reported at 6:38 p.m. according to Inver Grove Heights Fire Department, which was one of numerous fire departments to respond to the popular garden center located at 5500 Blaine Avenue, just south of Interstate 494.
The fire was contained to a greenhouse on the business property, with the fire department reporting that some equipment and plants were destroyed.
Inver Grove Heights Fire Department is investigating the cause of the blaze, though Gertens posted to Facebook saying one of our growing greenhouses caught fire accidentally near our main store location in Inver Grove Heights.
