MASON CITY – Investigators now say that faulty electrical wiring started a blaze that severely damaged a repair shed at the Mason City Harley-Davidson dealership this week.

The Mason City Fire Department responded to a report of smoke coming from a building owned by Thomas E. and Ronald D. Minert at 6:30 AM on Monday, November 17th. The fire was reported by a passerby.

On arrival, firefighters found heavy smoke coming from the roof area and overhead doors at 17 7th Street S.W. Within minutes, flames were coming from the center of the building on the east side near the alley. The Captain on duty determined conditions were too dangerous for entry, so the fire was fought from the exterior with master streams and hand lines. Firefighters remained on scene until 2:25 PM that day.

Investigation determined the fire started above the ceiling area in the east central portion
of the building and spread throughout the entire roof and attic area. Probable cause of
this fire is faulty electrical wiring located in the attic area.
