January 11, 2024

In a tragic incident earlier today, a structure fire broke out on US-223 (Adrian St) between Pearl St and Lane St in Lenawee County. As a result, the roadway has been closed to traffic in both the northbound and southbound directions.

The fire, which is still ongoing, has caused significant damage to the structure, making it unsafe for vehicles to pass through the area. Local authorities and firefighters are currently working tirelessly to extinguish the flames and ensure the safety of the surrounding area.

At this time, the cause of the fire remains unknown. Investigators will be conducting a thorough examination once the situation is under control to determine the origin and cause of this devastating incident.

The closure of US-223 has resulted in traffic diversions and delays in the vicinity. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes and follow the instructions provided by local law enforcement officers on the scene.

Residents and businesses in the affected area are urged to stay vigilant and follow any evacuation orders or safety precautions issued by authorities. The safety of the community is of utmost importance, and every effort is being made to contain the fire and prevent any further damage.

Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) officials have been closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available. Motorists are encouraged to stay informed through official channels, including MDOT’s social media accounts and local news outlets.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to anyone affected by this tragic incident. The loss caused by the fire is devastating, and we hope for a swift resolution and recovery for the community.
