4/18/13 - Three fires in the Brighton area destroyed a garage and a vacant home and damaged another homeâs porch. Fire Chief Mike OâBrian tells WHMI they were first dispatched to a fire in a detached garage off of Flint Road just before 7pm. Ammunition was stored in the garage which went off while they were putting out the fire, which took about an hour. The owner also reportedly lost some Civil War memorabilia. While they were working that initial scene, a second report came in of a house fire off of Chilson Road, although that ended up being a small porch fire. Then shortly after 10:15, they were dispatched to a fire in a vacant home on Hunter Road, south of Hyne. When firefighters arrived on the scene, at least half of the home was already engulfed in flames. Crews were able to extinguish the Hunter Road fire (pictured) within 90 minutes with no injuries. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation. Picture courtesy of Brighton Area Fire Authority. (JK)
