There were no injuries in a residential fire in York Township Sunday evening.
Firefighters from the Saline Area Fire Department were dispatched to the 9000 block of Pheasant Ridge Lane Sunday evening.
Saline Fire Chief Jason Sperle said firefighters arrived to a fully-involved garage fire that spread into the attic of the home.
"Firefighters extinguished the fire with help from Pittsfield Township and the Milan Area Fire Department," Sperle said. "The cause is not known however it is not believed to be suspicious."
The home belongs to the Houde family. Andy Houde is the Chief of the Scio Township Fire Department. On the Saline Posts Facebook Group, Houde reported that the Saline Area Fire Department arrived quickly and limited the fire damage to the garage. He said there was smoke damage to the house.
Firefighters were on the scene for about 90 minutes.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 43 and low of 38 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Patchy rain nearby for the morning, overcast during the afternoon, clear overnight.
This sound cruel on the surface. Landlords have rights too, they also have expenses. Does the city inspect these properties like the surrounding cities do ? Once your lease expires ask for a new lease otherwise you are month to month. Either party can give the other party thirty day notice to move out.
This is the unintended consequence of a government becoming more authoritarian and more punitive. Think about it. Would you keep a tennant on your property if they were involved with the city in suing you? Law suits are painful.
Tenants should have been moved out a long time ago. Some apartments don’t have running water or heat. It is my understanding that tenants shave not paid rent for the last year because conditions were so bad.
