A family of four in Iosco Township had to flee a fire in their home early this morning.
The Fowlerville Fire Department was called out at 2:19am on the report of a fire at a home on Lange Road, west of Dutcher. Fire Chief Bob Feig says upon arrival they found that a fire that had started in the chimney area of the home was extending through the roof and into the walls.
He says firefighters were quick to attack the fire and get it under control, but not before it caused extensive fire damage in the homeâs living room and smoke damage throughout the house. However, he said the family of four and their pets all made it out safely thanks to working smoke detectors, which alerted them to the fire. He says the house is not a total loss but is not currently habitable.
