A fire destroyed one house and damaged two in the new Arbor Ridge development in Woodbury Tuesday night.

Chris Klein, the assistant public safety director and EMS fire chief of Woodbury Fire Department, said that the fire started overnight. Two of the homes were under construction, including the one destroyed. The family living in the finished house was able to get out safely.

Fire crews responded to the 4300 block of Arbor Drive at 10:45 p.m. Thirty firefighters responded from Woodbury, Cottage Grove, St. Paul Park, Newport, and Oakdale.

Officers said they are investigating the cause of the fire, but do not think it was suspicious. Klein said that Woodbury’s fire investigator is handling the matter.

The fire department was still tending to hotspots Wednesday morning.
