GREEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Authorities are investigating what they call a suspicious fire in Green Township Wednesday morning.

The Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office says the fire broke out before 4:30 a.m. at a trailer along 220th Avenue.

We’re told the trailer was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived.

After the fire was put out, investigators found evidence suggesting the fire was suspicious in origin.

Deputies credit the following agencies for their assistance: the Big Rapids Department of Public Safety, Big Rapids Township Fire, Mecosta County EMS, Meceola Central Dispatch, Reed City Fire and Hersey Fire.
