Apartment Building Fire – No Injuries

On October 5, 2024, at 4:16 p.m., the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department (MPFD) responded to a fire at a multi-family housing unit in the 1800 block of South Crawford Road.

Upon arrival, crews observed a two-story, 16-unit apartment building partially engulfed in flames extending from the entry door to the roof of the second floor. The fire spread quickly up the walls and into the attic. The building sustained heavy fire damage to the attic and water damage throughout most of the building.

All occupants were able to exit the building safely. Tenants from the 16 units are displaced and working with apartment complex managers to find temporary housing.

Fire personnel remained on scene to try and salvage as many occupant belongings as possible.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The MPFD was assisted by the Deerfield Township Fire Department, Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Fire Department, Shepherd Tri-Township Fire Department, Isabella Northeast Fire Department, Mobile Medical Response, Mt. Pleasant Police Department, and Isabella County Central Dispatch.
