Moorhead Dumpster Fires Continue - Valley News Live - KVLY/KXJB - Fargo/Grand Forks

Moorhead Dumpster Fires Continue

Posted: Updated:

The Moorhead Fire Department was called out to the 16th dumpster fire in just under three months Friday night.

All of them, except for one at 1321 1st Avenue North, are in the same area of South Moorhead between 9th and 11th Avenues and 17th and 19th Streets.

Eight of the fires, including the one Friday night, have been at 1007 18th Street South.

Police say it is likely fireworks have been involved in these fires.

So far, the fires have stayed in the bins, but with strong winds and the dumpsters being so close to an apartment complex, police say it would not take much for the fire to spread to homes.

If that were to happen, charges would go from arson to attempted murder or negligent homicide.

The Moorhead Police Department says if you live in these areas you should keep an eye out at night, especially over the weekends.
