Oily rags cited as cause of fire that damaged Fargo business

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Fire that heavily damaged a commercial kitchen in Fargo was caused by oily rags that spontaneously combusted.

Fargo Fire Marshal Ryan Erickson tells KFGO radio (https://bit.ly/1Mmakh2 ) that the rags in a garbage at Square One Rental Kitchen ignited and the flames spread.

The Feb. 8 fire caused an estimated $150,000 in damage to the building and its contents. No one was in the business at the time, and no one was hurt.
