ALLENDALE TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – A Saturday afternoon house fire in Allendale caused structural damage but no injuries.
Crews from four jurisdictions responded to the 1 PM blaze at the residence off of 64th Avenue near Alger Street, as they combated flames coming from an attached garage that damaged a parked vehicle and the adjacent home. Smoke detectors helped the homeowner in escaping safely, and he told firefighters that ashes discarded the night before into a can could have ignited the fire, although a official cause of the blaze and a dollar estimate of the damage caused wasn’t immediately determined by responding investigators.
