Firefighters were called to what was originally described as a large fire at The Big Lot located in North Moorhead at 2620 2nd Avenue Monday night.

Valley News Live was on scene shortly after the fire started, the Moorhead Fire Department says a pile of material near an overhead door somehow caught fire and burned through the door at the former Bert's Trucking building.

Firefighters say a sprinkler kept the fire in check until firefighters could get in and knock it down. The flames were distinguished quickly, but smoke was heavy during the process.

The large building has multiple truck bays. Most were vacant, but the one where the fire started is being leased by a man who is starting a staining business.

Damage estimates are still being tallied as officials investigate the cause of the fire.
