Firefighters quickly contained flames Tuesday from a fire east of Magnolia, just across the Nobles County line. The building was a loss for Mary Carter and Dave Darger, who live on the property. The storage garage was near the home and another building but didn't affect them, although plastic containers nearby melted. Magnolia, Adrian and Luverne fire departments responded.
Another fire last weekend claimed the property of rural Magnolia residents. The Alan Kramer home was reported on fire at 1:28 a.m. Sunday, and the fire departments called it a loss by 2:35 a.m. Fire departments from Magnolia, Luverne, Hardwick and Kenneth worked on the house that was fully engulfed in flames when they arrived on the scene.
