Hibbing fire officials said that it was a “power strip” which caused last week’s fire in the building which contained the Sportsman’s Cafe in downtown Hibbing. The power strips had been attached to eachother. The blaze was located in the second floor of the building. Seven Iron Range fire departments were called in to fight the fire. A number of residents were displaced. The cafe has since reopened while the bar remains closed for repairs.
