2/20/14 - A Brighton Township home was claimed by fire earlier today. The fire took place on Kinyon Drive west of Island Lake beginning at about 10:18am. Deputy Fire Chief Mike Evans says when firefighters arrived on the scene, the house was heavily involved in the fire, which was beginning to spread to the detached garage. Both buildings were eventually destroyed by the fire, and a neighboring house received heat damage on the siding. Firefighters were able to keep that house from catching fire. Nobody was home at the time of the fire, and firefighters were able to rescue the familyâs dog before it could come to any harm. Two firefighters received minor injuries while fighting the blaze, and have received treatment. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Fire departments from Green Oak, Hartland, Lyon, and Hamburg Townships assisted, along with the Livingston County EMS and the Disaster Assistance Response Team. The Howell Area Fire Department covered for Brighton during the fire. (TD)
