Large wildfire burns near Lake George threatening utilities, Oakland County MI
WildfireA large wildfire has started near Lake George Road in Michigan. Multiple fire units, including chiefs and captains, are on scene managing the fire. The fire is several acres in size and is moving quickly. It is running near utility equipment, possibly damaging transformers, so the power company has been requested to respond. Firefighters are using engines and brush units to control the fire using handlines and water packs. A separate incident mentions an elderly female fallen and unresponsive near a hair salon at a masked street location.
