Fire at Ishpeming Laundromat
A LAUNDROMAT IN ISHPEMING IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AFTER A WEEKEND FIRE.
AT 5:30 LAST NIGHT FIREFIGHTERS FROM BOTH THE ISHPEMING AND NEGAUNEE FIRE DEPARTMENTS, RESPONDED TO THE FIRE AT THE KING COIN LAUNDROMAT AT THE CORNER OF CLEVELAND AND THIRD STREET.
HEAVY SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOORS OF THE STRUCTURE.
THEY WERE ABLE TO CONTAIN THE FIRE TO THE LAUNDROMAT ON THE FIRST FLOOR, AND AN APARTMENT ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
NO ONE WAS HOME AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE.
ISHPEMING FIRE CHIEF ED ANDERSON SAYS THE FIRE MOST LIKELY STARTED ON THE FIRST FLOOR WHERE THE DRYERS WERE LOCATED.
