No injuries in Chocolay Township house fire
A home on Cherry Creek Road is considered a total loss after a fire Sunday night.
CHOCOLAY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WLUC) - A Marquette County home is considered a total loss after a fire Sunday night.
According to Chocolay Township Manager Bill De Groot, the Chocolay Township Fire-Rescue Department was called to 1035 Cherry Creek Road around 8:50 p.m. Sunday. The first crews to arrive found that most of a large two-story home was up in flames. No injuries were reported, and everyone inside the home got out safely.
A total of six fire departments responded, De Groot said. Because the home was 900 feet off the road, it was a major effort to shuttle water to the fire. The fire was brought under control within two hours.
The cause of the fire has not been determined. De Groot said some firefighters remained on scene until 3:45 a.m. to extinguish hot spots.
The Marquette City Fire Department, Marquette Township Fire Department, Skandia-West Branch Fire Department, Sands Township Fire Department, Marquette County Rescue 131, UP Health System - Marquette, Chocolay Township Police Department and Marquette Board of Light and Power all responded.
There has been a GoFundMe set up to help support the family.
