Frohn Township home suffers major damage after fire
Jun. 2—BEMIDJI — A house in Frohn Township has suffered extensive damage after a fire broke out on Saturday morning in Bemidji. According to a release from Bemidji Fire Chief Justin Sherwood, at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 31, firefighters responded to reports of a structure fire along Martin Lane SE in Frohn Township.
