Fire destroys several campers at southern Minnesota campground

A fire destroyed several camping trailers on Wednesday afternoon at a campground in southern Minnesota.

It happened at Shades of Sherwood Campground between Zumbrota and Wanamingo. No one was injured.

Zumbrota fire officials said the initial call just after 4 p.m. was for leaves on fire, encroaching on a camper. By the time first responders arrived, several large camping trailers were fully engulfed in flames.

Firefighters from Zumbrota and Wanamingo extinguished the fire, believed to have started from a discarded cigarette.

Zumbrota police officers ensured everyone was out of the campers, while firefighters from Zumbrota and Wanamingo extinguished the flames. The fire was under control shortly after 5 p.m.

Authorities said they believe the fire was started by a discarded cigarette, but it remains under investigation.

“We are thankful that there were no injuries on scene and grateful for the team work by all involved,” the Zumbrota Fire Department reported.

Souhan: Is Anthony Edwards the next Kirby Puckett in Minnesota sports history?

“Just being around him on a daily basis, man, it’s incredible,” Wolves forward Julius Randle said. “He never has a bad day. He never comes in moody, not wanting to talk or not wanting to work every day. He comes in, he puts on his hard hat, he works hard, gives it all his effort. He’s always talkative, communicative. That’s who he is every single day.”

Asked to describe Edwards as a teammate, Wolves center Rudy Gobert said, “I need more time to answer, so I can write a book. He’s highly competitive. He’s a very funny guy. He has extremely high confidence. He speaks his mind and he’s always joking around. … We have good times because of his genuineness. Not everyone has that.”

Said Wolves guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker: “The thing about Ant is his personality, and how much pressure he takes off the game, and the confidence he has in himself. Which, to me, is why he’s Anthony Edwards.”

The Wolves are eight victories away from Edwards winning a title and moving into Puckett’s pantheon.
