COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Fast work by the Coldwater Fire Department may have prevented property damage to a building in the 100 block of East Chicago Wednesday afternoon.
Coldwater Fire Chief Dave Schmaltz says crews were returning to the fire station from a medical run on Vista Drive at about 12:15 p.m. when they saw some smoke.
It turns out the smoke was coming from a coffee container on a porch. The container had cigarette butts inside.
Firefighters got to the smoldering container before any flames broke out and there was no damage reported.
