PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A person is in the hospital after a house fire in Plainfield Township late Saturday.

At 11: 31 p.m. Saturday, the fire broke out at a house in the 4400 block of Frost Avenue Northeast, not far from East Beltline Avenue. The first report said a person was trapped inside.
