GRAND HAVEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Fire crews are working to put out a large garage fire in Grand Haven Township, according to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office.

The fire broke out around 7 p.m. Wednesday inside the garage of a home in the 15000 block of Forest Park Drive.

“We responded out here, found the house pretty well involved. Crews did a really good job knocking down that fire and then going interior, getting those primary all clears and making sure everybody was out of the house, and then eventually extinguishing the fire and overhauling the fire,” Chief Shawn Schrader with Grand Haven Township Fire Rescue told FOX 17 at the scene.

Fire officials say the fire did spread from the garage to the home.

“Didn’t go down into the basement, but it certainly spread from the garage to the main floor to the upper floors,” Chief Schrader added. "There was a lot of fire damage to the house."

Several other departments responded to help put out the flames, including the Grand Haven Department of Public Safety and the Robinson Township Fire Department.
