Troy Fire Department Fights Construction Site Fire

TROY, MI — The Troy Fire Department responded to a structure fire at an active construction site at ND Industries at 1893 Barrett Dr. at 8:08 a.m., according to a news release.

The construction site manager told arriving crews that workers discovered that roofing materials were burning and used fire extinguishers to contain the fire to the immediate area. However, firefighters were needed to pull the roofing material back and 100% put out the blaze.

The site was evacuated, and construction screeched to a dead stop. The fire was small enough that it did not set off the building fire suppression systems.

Damage estimates are incomplete, but are not expected to be above $10,000. The crews were allowed to return to work, and business was only stalled for an hour. There were no injuries or fatalities reported.
