Residents safely flee small fire at Woodfield Apartments in Cutlerville

GAINES TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Investigators are trying to determine what caused a minor fire at the Woodfield Apartments on Tuesday morning.

It broke out just before 5 o'clock at the section of the complex that is on the west side of Eastern Avenue at 60th Street. That is in Gaines Charter Township, at the City of Kentwood border.

Cutlerville and Dutton Fire Chief Ken Van Hall told WOOD Radio that Kentwood firefighters, along with those from the Cutlerville and Dutton fire crews, responded to the scene. The fire was quickly contained by firefighters.

"No injuries. No civilian or firefighter injuries, and the cause is under investigation," Van Hall said.

Some damage was done to two apartment units.

"A deck on one, and some walling on the other," he said.

Firefighters have said in the past that a fair percentage of the fires in Cutlerville come from a one-square-mile area north of 60th Street and east of Division Avenue, and many of those come from the Woodfield complex. In March last year, two dozen carports and 13 vehicles were destroyed in a two-alarm fire. And a grease fire from a stove in February 2013 led to the evacuation of two buildings at the Woodfield Apartments.
