Updated: Worker Keeps Eden Prairie Fire From Spreading

Updated 7:30 p.m. Jan. 15: The fire at 6642 Golden Ridge Drive on Monday night was accidental, according to an Eden Prairie spokeswoman.

Joyce Lorenz, communications manager, said the fire was "caused by a work light left on inadvertently on top of a cabinet by a contractor."

"The light caught some protective plastic covering on fire which spread to other contents," Lorenz wrote in an email. "A worker on site threw water on the fire and kept it from spreading."
