The Dilworth Fire Department responded to the fire shortly before 10 a.m. and spent about an hour putting it out. Fire Chief Kurt Kennedy said the fire started near the burners and was likely caused by chaff that had built up.

The fire department crew cut away metal panels on the corn dryer to get to all the burned corn. Chief Kennedy said the dryer was totaled, but was unsure what the cost of the damage would be.

Dilworth Fire was called out and upon arrival requested Moorhead fire for mutual aid. Both departments monitored the situation until the BNSF hazardous materials team arrived from Morris, Minnesota.

There was a large amount of gasoline that was leaked during the day according to authorities. The gasoline was contained between the railroad tracks which acted as a dike, and helped avoid any gasoline from seeping into the nearby ditch.

According to BNSF officials, the leak was caused by a valve on top the rail car that was not properly secured. Officials estimate about 400 gallons of gasoline was spilled, but there was no environmental threat to the public.

The victims have been identified as Captain Robin Broxterman, 37 and Firefighter Brian Schira, 29. Broxterman was the department’s first female captain and the mother of two. Local news outlets reported that she was engaged to a firefighter from another area department.

Schira was hired by the Colerian department in November, and was formerly with Delhi Township. His friends have begun posting condolences on his MySpace Profile, which indicates he is single. His interests included softball, weight lifting, going to concerns and riding his motorcycle. He also worked at Home Depot.

The first call came in just after 6 a.m. as a carbon monoxide/smoke detector alarm and while en-route crews were advised that it was now reported as a full structure fire with fire reported in the basement.

On arrival, firefighters encountered heavy fire conditions. They entered the home to search for additional victims and find the seat of the fire, Conn said. At some point, there was a “catastrophic structure failure” and the firefighters apparently fell through the floor to the basement. There was no radio contact from the crew.

A second alarm was sounded as the Mayday was called by command and rapid intervention crews (RIT) went to work, locating the bodies about 30 minutes later, just after 7 a.m.
