Franklin Street just before 9:00 Wednesday morning. When they arrived three minutes later, smoke was coming from the roof and employees were evacuating the building. In a release, Division Chief Mike Larson said the fire was in a commercial oven. He said employees had tried to put out the fire with an extinguisher but were not successful.
