Blaze engulfs vacant Kmart building on Lake Street in Minneapolis

A massive fire broke out at the vacant Kmart building on Lake Street in Minneapolis, causing the building's rear wall to partially collapse. Firefighters are battling the flames with two aerial water towers and working to prevent the fire from spreading inside the building. The area surrounding the site is closed, and utility workers are on standby. The future of the building, which has attracted squatters since Kmart's closure in 2020, has been a topic of debate, with construction expected to begin in 2025.
