GRANT, Mich. — Multiple departments responded to a business fire in Grant Thursday evening.
The fire broke out at a commercial facility housing an excavation company on 120th Street, according to the Newaygo County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO).
Deputies say response includes agencies from outside the county.
Chief Dean Bouwkamp with the Grant Fire Department says the call first came in before 7:10 p.m. Firefighters arrived on scene to find the building fully engulfed in flames.
"It was 100% fully involved from one end of the building to the other," he says. "I'm sure the wind played a major factor in that."
The chief says explosions were heard among the equipment inside the building. It's not known what made those explosions but he speculates they were caused by tires.
No injuries were reported.
We're told it took 16 departments one hour to put the fire out. Chief Bouwkamp extends his gratitude to everyone who helped.
"It's a cold night," says Chief Bouwkamp. "Crews did a great job. They're continuing to do a great job. Everything's running as smoothly as could be expected."
