well...352 W. Pickard Burned Down
Family, dog escapes from burning house
An Isabella County family got out unharmed early Monday morning when fire broke out at their Deerfield Township home.
Kim and Keith Cotter, along with their daughter, Taylor, and miniature dachshund, Weezie, were able to get out of their home at 352 W. Pickard Rd. after they discovered the fire in the chimney area.
Deerfield Township firefighters were called to the home at about 6:45 a.m. and spent about six hours at the scene, Fire Chief Ryan Martin said.
Although the home, which was insured, was a total loss, firefighters were able to save some of the family’s belongings, including furniture, photographs and clothing, Deerfield Township Fire Chief Ryan Martin said.
Fire appears to have broken out in a wood stove, Martin said.
About 30 firefighters from Deerfield, the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department, Nottawa-Sherman Township Fire Department, the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Fire Department and the Fremont Fire Department responded to the blaze, Martin said.
When firefighters arrived at the scene, the blaze had spread through the roof area but interior walls were intact, Martin said.
Firefighters were also able to remove two vehicles from the garage and keep the garage from catching fire, the chief said.
Isabella County Sheriff’s deputies blocked West Pickard Road at Meridian and Nottawa roads as firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze.
