 It was a busy night for area firefighters after being called out to two separate structure fires in Bemidji. The first fire was reported shortly after 10 last night on the 3000 block of Jackson Avenue Southwest where the fire was confined to the bedroom of the home. Firefighters were able to put the fire out quickly and were on the scene for a couple of hours. There were no injuries reported and the home only suffered minor damage. A few hours later the firefighters responded to a garage fire that was fully engulfed in flames on Mill Street. The fire was contained in the detached garage and was a total loss. And having two fires in one night is not all that uncommon in the winter. As we start entering some of the cooler times of the year we may have a little bit of an increase in fires but for Bemidji we're pretty consistent. We do about 35 building fires a year in the Bemidji area. A lot of our total of 100 fires that will respond to this year or so. Both fires are under investigation but both appear to be accidental in nature.
