Fire Damages Million Dollar Homes in Mahtomedi

The Oakdale Fire Department was one of several fire departments that responded to the fire.

Area firefighters were kept busy putting out a fire that destroyed a million-dollar home in Mahtomedi and damaged two other nearby homes early Friday morning.

Signs indicate the fire started on the deck of a home on the 200 block of Park Avenue and spread to nearby homes due to heavy winds, according to a report by Kare 11.

The fire destroyed the home and caused significant damage to a second million-dollar home and minor damage to a third home, Kare 11 reports.
