HEATH TOWNSHIP, Mich.  — It took firefighters from multiple departments to bring a fire under control Wednesday night in Allegan County.

County dispatchers say the fire broke out in the 3800 block of 134th Avenue, near 39th Street, around 8:40 p.m. Wednesday.

Hamilton Fire Chief David Haverdink says that the fire was in a workshop on the property.  An earlier report incorrectly stated that there was a biohazard posed by the fire, but Haverdink says that is not true.

Dispatchers said firefighters from Hamilton, Saugatuck, as well as Overisel and and Graafschap townships were still on the scene after 11 p.m. Wednesday.
