5/26/14 - A family has been left homeless by a fire which destroyed their home on Bohm Road, between Cohoctah and Lovejoy roads in Cohoctah Township. The Howell Fire Department responded at 9:20 p.m. Sunday night to what was initially a garage fire. However, when firefighters arrived, the fire had spread from the unattached garage to the house, which was engulfed in flames. It took 45 minutes for firefighters to get the blaze under control. The family was home at the time, but managed to get out safely. The Fowlerville and Hartland fire departments assisted Howell firefighters at the scene, along with the Argentine and Burns Township fire departments from Shiawassee County.
