• Calumet home damaged by fire
The Calumet Fire Department responded to a report of smoke coming from a home at 306 South Morse Avenue in Calumet, at 8:05 p.m. on Feb. 14. Despite no one being in the house, items stored on an electric stove were burned up. The fire department suspects a dog in the house may have somehow turned on one of the burners.
A wall next to the stove was opened to make sure no fire was inside. The house sustained significant smoke damage and is believed to be uninhabitable. No one was injured.
