HOUSE FIRE

Argus-Press Photo by Liz Shepard A house at 5477 Colby Road in Shiawassee Township was destroyed by fire Thursday night. At about 8:45 p.m. the flames started, said homeowner Josh Crambell. He believes it was caused by electrical problems. “I just got an armful of clothes,” he said, “and lost the pictures and memories...the things I can’t replace.” Shiawassee Township Fire Chief Dennis Warner said he could see the flames shooting from the house as they came on scene off Grand River Road. Fire departments from Corunna-Caledonia Township, Owosso, Perry and Vernon also responded. Warner said central dispatch and the county’s Road Commission played a vital role with the rural fire. “If it wasn’t for those guys we’d be in trouble,” he said.
