At 1:15 a.m Friday, Manistique Public Safety and Volunteer Firefighters were called to a report of a large amount of smoke with fire alarms activated in the B building of the Lakeview Apartments located at 701 Park Avenue in Manistique.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers evacuated residents from the building and found that the fire was located in apartment B107, occupied by Richard Cardenas.
