WYKOFF, Minn. – A kitchen fire spread up inside the walls to the attic of a Wykoff house. Then after firefighters thought they had quelled the flames, the fire re-ignited. It took fire crews from Wykoff, Chatfield, Spring Valley and Stewartville three hours to get the fire out finally. There were no injuries. The two-story house, just off Highway 80, was destroyed.
Traffic detoured. Highway 80 vehicles were diverted behind the block to clear the way for fire-fighting apparatus and hoses.
