Fire started in ceiling of apartment

    No one was injured but the fate of a couple historic buildings remains unclear after a major fire in downtown Blissfield Thursday morning.
    A fire marshall with the Michigan State Police has ruled the fire was “incidental,” according to Blissfield Township Fire Chief Gary Crist. The fire is believed to have originated in the ceiling of the second story apartments at 133 S. Lane St. at approximately 3:30 a.m. Crist said the fire appears to have been electrical in nature. It originated between the bathroom of the front apartment and kitchen of the back apartment.

The owner of Cakes n' Shakes haven't determined if they will re-open. Of course, the insurance settlement is central to the matter. But Bob and Kathy Valdez also need to decide if they want to rebuild from scratch. The interior of the bakery and restaurant actually looks remarkably clean.
