Viewer photos and video sent to TRF News showed emergency vehicles outside the business and smoke in the service area.
\nThe dealership is located at 1375 Highway 2 East and serves drivers from Crookston and the surrounding region.<\/p>\n

Crews worked to keep the fire from spreading further inside the building.
\nDetails on damage to the oil change bay and any nearby vehicles have not been released.
\nNo additional injuries were reported in early information.<\/p>\n

The Crookston Fire Department\u00a0<\/a>regularly responds to structure fires, medical calls, and other emergencies in the city and rural area.
\nThe department urges residents and businesses to review fire safety plans and keep exits and work areas clear.<\/p>\n

In Minnesota, the\u00a0State Fire Marshal Division\u00a0<\/a>often reviews major fire incidents and provides guidance on codes, inspections, and workplace safety.
\nInvestigators will work to determine how Thursday\u2019s fire started and whether any equipment or structural damage contributed.<\/p>\n

Highway 2 remained open during the noon hour, but drivers in the area saw a visible emergency response near the dealership.
\nOfficials are expected to release more details as the assessment of damage continues and the injured person receives treatment.<\/p>\n

TRF News will update this story when more confirmed information becomes available from local officials or the dealership.<\/p>\n
