GRAND MEADOW, MN -- A weekend fire destroyed the garage of a local police chief.
Police say around 5:30 Saturday morning, a neighbor saw smoke coming out of a garage that belongs to the Grand Meadow Police Chief, James Richardson.
Grand meadow firefighters responded and put out the fire, but not before it destroyed several valuable items in the garage.
The state fire marshal said the blaze may have started from a cordless drill charger that was plugged in.
Tom Bleifus with the Grand Meadow Fire Department says, "I guess they haven't rules out any arson, but that is kind of what it's being pointed towards right now is electrical."
Chief Richardson was not home when the fire started. The garage is said to be a total loss.
