At least three people were displaced after a fire in Clay Township on Monday.Â
Firefighters were called to the 800 block of Maple Street shortly after 12 a.m. on Monday, according to Lancaster County-Wide Communications.Â
The family woke up after hearing a small explosion, Brickerville Fire Department chief Dennis Strauss said.Â
The fire began outside the home on the porch on the second level of the house and spread to portions of the outside of the house before reaching the kitchen and a bedroom on the first and second floors, Strauss said. The fire burned through walls and windows, but did not advance into the rest of the home.

A handful of road construction projects will be getting underway across the Blue Water Area over the next week. Bridge maintenance on Bricker Road over the Mill Creek in Kenockee Township will close the road to through traffic starting tomorrow until April 27th. The posted detour will include M-136, Brown Road, and Thomas Roads. The cost of the $105,000 project is being financed by federal, county, and township dollars.
In Clay Township, Flamingo Road is limited to one-lane traffic for replacement of a bridge. Left-turn movement from M-29 onto Flamingo Road is prohibited with left-turn traffic being detoured.
A large resurfacing project will begin on I-69 in Lapeer County along next week. The Michigan Department of Transportation will resurface about 8.3 miles of I-69 with new asphalt between Newark Road and the St. Clair County Line. That work is being financed by the rebuilding Michigan bond program.

While sitting in the dining room of her Delta Drive home on a conference call in early February, Anne Trombley heard a crunching sound when she put her feet on the floor beneath her. I thought I stepped on some crumbs of chips.I looked down and sure enough, (water) was just rolling through the back.
The water was coming in through the back door, which faces a canal off the St. Clair River. It continued to rise throughout the day, breaking 11 inches by mid-afternoon.
Since her home first flooded in 2019, her family keeps the furniture on the first floor of their home on cinder blocks. The carpeting and flooring has been destroyed and removed. So have some sections of walls. Appliances that have just been replaced have already been destroyed.
