PENNFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A woman was hospitalized after a fire displaced guests at a Pennfield Township motel Monday night.

The fire broke out before 9:45 p.m. at the Michigan Motel, according to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO).

We’re told the motel was fully engulfed when deputies arrived.
