Rosemount Fire Burns Spectro Alloys Baghouse

ROSEMOUNT, MN — Rosemount fire crews and assisting fire departments from the area worked for six hours to ensure a baghouse fire that began Sunday was extinguished. No injuries were reported.

On Sunday at 8:58 p.m. the Rosemount police and fire departments responded to a structure fire located at Spectro Alloys Corporation.

Rosemount fire officials reported on Facebook that three storage buildings were engulfed by the fire. However, a Spectro Alloys official told Patch in an email that the fire was contained to one piece of equipment, a baghouse with three cells.

Rosemount police and the Minnesota State Patrol assisted by closing Highway 55.

Rosemount fire crews, with the assistance of the Inver Grove Fire Department, Hastings Fire Department, and the Eagan Fire Department worked on extinguishing the fire with Mendota Heights and Apple Valley staged in case they were needed. The fire departments were able to extinguish the fire and cleared the scene at 2:56 a.m.

The Rosemount Police Department extended their appreciation to the Rosemount fire crews and assisting fire departments as these men and women worked for six hours to ensure the fire was extinguished:

The majority of these fire departments are volunteer and most of the fire fighters had to get up Monday morning to head to their full-time jobs after fighting a fire all night. If you see a fire fighter please be sure to thank them for a job well done.
