Minneapolis Fire Dept. responds to fires on Lake Street post-election

Protest fires on Lake Street the day after the election
Minneapolis Fire Department responded to multiple garbage can fires along Lake Street on the night following the 2020 election. The fires occurred amidst protests and unrest in the city, following the death of Winston Smith. Banners visible in the background reflect sentiments from the period, including "People Over Property" and "Buycott." Lake Street, a major commercial corridor in Minneapolis, has been a focal point for community activism and rebuilding efforts.
