Officers from Manistique Public Safety were dispatched at approximately 9:24 p.m. to a reported structure fire at 914N River Road in Manistique Township. The individual who called said the home was on fire and that all occupants had gotten out of the building.

Firefighters from Manistique Public Safety and the Manistique Volunteer Fire Department arrived at the scene at approximately 9:39 p.m. and could see the home was fully-engulfed in flames. The first arriving firefighters were able to confirm that all four adult occupants of the home, which included the caller, were able to exit the structure safely.
