COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A 25-year-old West Bloomfield man sustained burns during a fire at a home in the 2100 block of Bass Lake Road in Commerce Township that happened around noon Saturday.
According to police, there were several 911 calls made about multiple explosions at the home and its garage catching fire.
Police say the victim was one of three people in the home at the time and sustained burns to the face and arms. He was taken to Ascension Providence Hospital in Novi by medics. Afterward he was transported to the University of Michigan Burn Center in Ann Arbor.
He took the first, a COVID-19 vaccination, in his right arm shortly before 2 p.m.
The second will be a shot of whiskey at home in West Bloomfield tonight as he celebrates being the first person immunized at Ascension Providence Hospital in Novi.
Shuker, an internal medicine physician, has not taken a day off work since mid-March, seeing COVID-19 patients daily. He said the vaccination represents the beginning of the end of the pandemic. We have lost a lot of lives. People have lost family, friends, parents, Shuker said. I have made too many phone calls, I have dreaded picking up the phone. I had to do one today. This shot is an important step for humanity to put this disease to an end. It is safe. What is not safe is getting exposed to COVID.
