Pittsfield firefighters battled a blaze to keep it from spreading at the Cloverlane Apartments early Sunday morning.
Around 5:45 a.m., a woman living on the 4500 block of Swiss Stone Court woke up with her bedroom on fire. She and her young son left the building and called 911. Firefighters arrived to find smoke in the two-story apartment building. A hoseline was advanced to extinguish the blaze while police and firefighters escorted other residents from the building.
Fire damage was contained to the original apartment but there was smoke and water damage throughout the building.
After being evaluated by Huron Valley Ambulance paramedics the resident and her young son remained on scene.
Ypsilanti Township firefighters assisted at the scene.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the fire marshal's division.
Sunny, with a high of 55 and low of 33 degrees. Clear during the morning, sunny during the afternoon, partly cloudy during the evening, clear overnight.
This did not have to happen. In past shutdowns, when we had experienced and knowledgeable people in government positions who actually cared about the American people, advance plans were made to ensure funding for this (and other key programs) was in place before the shutdown.
Is this even over with? No indication of the date or time.
