COLDWATER, MI — The Coldwater Fire Department, along with automatic aid from the Quincy and Bronson fire departments, successfully contained a commercial structure fire early Tuesday morning at the Coldwater Fresh Market located at 373 N. Willowbrook Dr.
Dispatchers sent fire crews to the occupied grocery store at 4:51 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Upon arrival, firefighters encountered heavy smoke inside the building and flames bursting through a front window.
Crews brought the fire under control shortly after arriving on scene, limiting the fire damage to the front of the store before clearing the area at 6:41 a.m.
Coldwater Fire Marshall Jackie Supianoski says the probable cause of the fire was a chest freezer located near the front of the market.
The fire destroyed two chest freezers and damaged the front window, resulting in an estimated $20,000 in property damage and $25,000 in contents damage.
No hazardous materials, specialized rescues, or vehicles were involved, and no injuries or fatalities were reported for either civilians or emergency responders.
