Saline firefighters extinguished a garage fire on the 3000 block of Fox Den Circle in Lodi Township Friday morning.
The Saline Area Fire Department was dispatched to the fire just before 4 a.m., according to Fire Chief Jason Sperle. Callers reported heavy flames and smoke from the detached garage. When they arrived firefighters found a fully involved garage that was deemed a total loss.
The homeowner had been using a torch earlier. It ignited a fire in the garage but the homeowner believed he had fully extinguished the fire before retiring to his home for the night, Sperle said.
There were no injuries and the fire is believed to be accidental, Sperle said.
Sunny, with a high of 18 and low of 0 degrees. Sunny for the morning, clear in the afternoon and evening,
I wonder what it would cost the city to withdraw from authority all together? To service only the city limits of Saline may be a simple task and require far fewer people. The police can be cross trained to work both law enforcement and fire safety. Does the City of Saline own the building and the fire trucks?
Interesting. So, it would seem the Board's earlier decision, a decision facilitating the data center, afforded residents a mechanism to have their voices heard and to potentially stop the unwanted data center. The Board has now reversed that decision to deny citizens that very right to with they are entitled.
