KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety says an early morning house fire Thursday is considered suspicious.
Just before 2:00 a.m. KDPS was dispatched to the report of a fire in the 700 block of West Lovell Street. First arriving officers found that the fire had self-vented out of one of the first floor windows and additional reports that someone might be trapped on the fourth floor.
A fire attack team and search/rescue teams were immediately deployed inside while a transitional attack was started from the outside. They say the transitional attack was extremely successful and put out an overwhelming amount of the fire leaving just hot spots for follow-on checks.
The Red Cross was contacted to assist with displaced residents.
The fire is considered suspicious and the Kalamazoo Fire Marshal is investigating.
