Several fires broke out Monday night inside the blighted Michigan Central Station in Corktown, and arson investigators are looking into the matter, the Motor City Muckraker reports.
The damage was minor, Steve Neavling of the Motor City Muckraker reports.
Neavling writes:
Firefighters arrived shortly after 6:15 p.m. and ascended the cracked, graffiti-strewn stairs to the fifth and sixth floors, where several small fires were burning. Flames also were spotted on a parapet overlooking the front of the abandoned building.
Firefighters reported the fire was under control at 6:46 p.m., but they found more flames in a utility area on the fifth floor at 6:59 p.m., possibly from embers from the floor above.
