FLINT, MI -- Firefighters battled a blaze Wednesday afternoon at National Unclaimed Freight Furniture Carpet and Mattress Outlet in Flint.
Firefighters responded around 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 21, to the discount furniture store, located at 2130 Dort Highway on the city’s south side.
“People that were inside looked out the window and saw a fire and tried to put it out with an extinguisher,” said Flint Fire Battalion Chief Mark Kovach. “They realized it was too big for them to handle, so they called 911.”
Kovach said firefighters were able to cut the fire off halfway into the building and contained it to the business.
