Firefighters battled about 30 fires overnight, including at least 16 building blazes, the fire department said Thursday morning. A fire that spread Wednesday night during a protest outside the Minnesota State Capitol in downtown Minneapolis left five people dead and four others - including a firefighter - injured. Firefighters responded to about 30 intentionally set fires, including "at least" 16 building fires and several fire engines were damaged by rocks and other projectiles, it said. The Minneapolis Fire Department said Thursday that firefighters extinguished "over 30 blazes" that burned at least 16 buildings on Sunday night. The Minneapolis Fire Department responded to a fire at the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus that had spread to several other downtown buildings.
Weinhagen of the Minneapolis Regional Chamber said the damage has the potential to burn plants, lose goods through looting, damage employees "wages and damage businesses.
He noted that the hardest-hit buildings in Minneapolis were those that burned heavily in the flames during the protests. Lake Street was certainly the epicenter, but a few dozen others reported fire damage, many of which were severely burned. He noted that there was almost no fire damage at the University of Minnesota - Duluth, Minnesota State University - Twin Cities and the U.S. Bank Center were also affected. The fire destroyed more than 1,000 buildings, most of them in downtown Minneapolis, and a small number of buildings across Lake St. were destroyed.
The full extent of damage to buildings and businesses is not fully known, but it's safe to say that hundreds of businesses were affected in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, he said. On Tuesday, the chief executive of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, John D. Schmitt, said it was difficult for the industry to give a dollar value for the damage, in part because of mounting claims from cities across the country.
