Sparks Ignite Attic Fire
The Mackinac Island Fire Department responds to a small fire in the attic of the Lenox Hotel Thursday, May 17. Fire Chief Dennis Bradley said the fire was accidentally started by the workers repairing the roof on the 120-year-old building. Sparks from a grinder apparently caused it, he said, and fire extinguishers were used to put it out. "It was pretty contained," he said. There was no major damage and no injuries.
