FOREST LAKE, Minn. (AP) - Authorities say a fire that destroyed a gun shop and shooting range in Forest Lake doesn’t appear to be suspicious.

Washington County sheriff’s officials say Lakes Trading is a total loss due to the smoke and water damage from the large fire Monday night.

All occupants made it out of the building safely. A Hugo firefighter sustained a minor ankle injury and was treated at the scene.



About 75 firefighters helped battle the blaze.
