MIDLAND, MI - A structure fire is ongoing but mostly contained at a Midland warehouse as of roughly 11:45 a.m. Monday.
Crews from the Midland Fire Department and others are on the scene at Midland Compounding & Consulting, located at 3810 James Savage Road next to Midland Paper Company. Midland Paper Company made a post to its Facebook page stating its staff were safe and their building was not on fire.
At roughly 12:15 p.m., Midland spokeswoman Selina Tisdale relayed information from Midland Fire Chief Chris Coughlin, who is still on the scene. There are no injuries and the fire is mostly contained, but crews will be at the scene most of the day to make sure it is completely put out, she said.
A driver was killed and his passenger was injured in a single-vehicle crash in Jackson County Wednesday morning.
Troopers from the Athens Post of the Georgia State Patrol were called to the accident scene on SR 330 at Savage Road just after 6:30 a.m. The investigation found that a silver Infiniti Q50 (passenger car) was traveling north on Savage Road, said SFC Timothy Meyer in an email statement. The driver of the vehicle failed to stop at the stop sign at its intersection with SR 330. The Infiniti traveled across the roadway, off the north side of SR 330 and into the wood line.
