Firefighters from multiple departments worked overnight to knock down a massive fire at a well-known greenhouse in Maple Grove.
Fire crews were called out around 3:30 a.m. for the blaze at Lynde's Greenhouse and Nursery off 93rd Avenue North, east of Elm Creek Boulevard. As they arrived, firefighters saw large flames and a large pillar of smoke billowing out of the greenhouse, according to the department's Twitter feed. Video from the scene shows firefighters attacking the flames from multiple angles, with hoses pouring water in from the side and above.
The size of the fire was so large that firefighters say they had to call in a second alarm to bring more crews on scene and a life safety unit from Golden Valley, which helps monitor the health of firefighters.
