A fire engulfed a grain bin in Fergus Falls Sunday night.

Crews from six departments responded to the Farmers Elevator around 6:30 p.m.

A 911 alert was also sent to residents living downwind of the fire to shelter indoors due to the smoke. It was lifted about two hours later.

Fire departments from Elizabeth, Underwood, Dalton, and additional ladder trucks from Breckenridge and Perham responded to assist Fergus Falls firefighters.

The fire was caused by drying soybeans. There were no injuries and a damage estimate is not yet available.
