Three Livingston County families were left homeless after two
separate fires destroyed their homes.
Chief Andy Pless of the Howell Area Fire Department said
firefighters responded to a 6:30 a.m. fire today at a a mobile
home in the 200 block of Chevalier Road in Howell Estates, off
D-19 and north of Interstate 96. The mobile home was “fully
involved” when firefighters arrived on scene.
Pless said the fire was under control within 15 minutes.
The family’s patriarch was able to escape after hearing the
smoke detector sound, Pless said. The man’s wife and 16-year-old
child were not home, he noted.
In Fowlerville, two families were left homeless when an older
home, which had been divided into two apartments, in the 100
block of South Ann Street caught fire about 4:15 p.m. Tuesday.
Chief John Wright of the Fowlerville Fire Department said it
took firefighters about half an hour to get that fire “pretty
well under control.” They cleared the scene around 6 p.m.
The cause of both fires is undetermined, both chief said.
The Livingston County chapter of the American Red Cross is
assisting both families.
