12/12/10 - Delhi Twp hot tub fire, 1148 Okemos Rd
At 9:26 PM on Sunday, December 12, 2010, the Delhi Township Fire Department responded to a report of the back porch on fire at 1148 Okemos Rd in Alaiedon Twp. At the time of this call the area was experiencing a winter storm which was bringing accumulating snow and strong winds with low wind chill factors. When a report was received that the fire may be extending to the house, mutual aid was requested for tankers from the Mason and Dansville fire departments. Upon arrival, personnel found a hot tub on fire which had extended to an enclosed deck, but did not yet involve the house. The fire was quickly knocked down and extensive overhaul began to remove the charred deck to prevent the high winds from rekindling the blaze and possibly damaging the house. The Dansville tanker was cancelled and Mason was released shortly afterward.
