A car on fire in a Minneapolis parking ramp sent smoke above Target Field during a Twins game Sunday afternoon.

While official details about the blaze weren’t immediately available, X user Luke Grothe captured video and pictures of fire crews extinguishing a burning sedan in Ramp B on 2nd Avenue N. near the baseball stadium around 2 p.m.

Smoke billowed above the ballpark in view of game fans.

It was not known whether anyone was hurt.
