WHITEHALL, Mich (February 15th, 201)—An apartment fire in Whitehall early Saturday morning is now under control.

Around 25 residents had to be evacuated from the building as crews battled to get the fire under control.

The damages are estimated between $40,000 and $50,000 and how the blaze started is still unknown. No apartments were damaged by fire, smoke or water.
