I just visited Raymond, Minnesota to thank first responders and tour the site.   While the investigation continues, I just want to say how immensely grateful I am for the first responders who responded to Raymond’s call for help.

48 trucks from 28 local fire departments responded to the call — some from as far as 50+ miles away.    Helping our neighbors is what Minnesotans do — we always have each other’s backs.

I can’t imagine the fear and anxiety folks felt when they had to leave their homes in the middle of the night.   We will find answers in due time but for now, I’m grateful nobody was injured and residents can return to their home.

@SenTinaSmith @RepFischbach @SenAmyKlobuchar I’m sure you made no positive impact whatsoever on the community or situation, but thanks for the tweet.

@SenTinaSmith @RepFischbach @SenAmyKlobuchar Well at least 1 non criminal was there...that would be fischbach...
