A woman was found dead and two other people were hospitalized in two separate outdoor fires in Minnesota on Sunday. The fatal incident happened in the 6400 block of Wetherbee Road in Crow Wing Township, about ten miles south of Brainerd, around 12:15 p.m. The Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office said responders were called to a field on fire near a residence and found the homeowner, a 65-year-old woman, dead near a lawn mower.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources assisted the Brainerd Fire Department in extinguishing the blaze, the sheriff’s office said. No structures were impacted. A second outdoor fire on Sunday broke out shortly before 5 p.m. in northern Minnesota, at the Lakeland Mobile Home Park in Biwabik Township. The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office said two people were taken by ambulance to the hospital in what’s believed to be non-life-threatening condition.
