Box Alarm in the Rutland-Dundee Township FPD, 4-24-19

Excerpts from the DailyHerald.com:

A 911 call was made just before noon on Wednesday at a business located at 37W507 Big Timber Road, west of Randall Road. Firefighters arrived to find significant fire in the attic of the single-story building, which later spread to the main level. The fire was brought under control by 2:30 p.m., with assistance from twelve different fire departments. According to officials, the cause of the fire was electrical and accidental. The estimated damage is around $1.5 million.

The 30-year-old structure, spanning 9,000 square feet, was completely destroyed, along with a skid-steer loader and various construction tools. Employees were the first to notice sparks coming from both the inside and outside of the building and managed to cut off the power within 10 minutes, preventing further escalation.

Local residents and business owners are still in shock over the sudden loss. Many are expressing concern about the safety of older buildings and the importance of regular electrical inspections. Authorities have urged businesses to remain vigilant and ensure their systems are up to code.
