Minden, LA: Five-alarm fire destroys Minden school gym

MINDEN, LA (KSLA) –

Fire investigators say a piece of hot metal from a metal grinder caused a fire at a Minden school gymnasium.

“We do know the building was under construction, they were out here working,” said Minden Firefighter, Daniel Davison.

The entire building and it’s contents were destroyed in the fire.

Minden Mayor Bill Roberston says the firefighters were able to get the fire at the Glenbrook School gym under control but stayed at the scene putting out “hot spots.”
