>>One dead after officer-involved shooting leads to call for assistance
Firefighters forced entry to the rear of the building through a garage door and found the the fire was on the second floor.
However, besides putting out the visible fire, crews faced a problem: the old building’s renovations.
As the interior of the building was remodeled, officials explained, spaces were left behind walls, so firefighters had to tear many of these open to check for lingering flames and hotspots. In addition, the building’s renovations did not provide good airflow, leading firefighters to break out a window in the front of the warehouse for better ventilation.

Nobody was hurt in the fire, and the cause of the fire is being investigated. Crews are also investigating whether someone was in the house when the fire started or not.
The Eaton Fire Department was assisted on the scene by the Jasper Township and West Alexandria fire departments.
