TAYLOR, Mich. (WXYZ) — The Taylor Fire Department is investigating after a large fire broke out at Princeton Square Apartments.
Authorities say the fire happened around 2 p.m. Saturday. TFD responded to the fire quickly, with the Brownstown Fire Department assisting.
“Brownstown came and helped out, they did a great job," said Battalion Chief Tim Bell. "They helped stop the fire from spreading to other buildings.”
The department confirmed to 7 Action News that no residents or firefighters were injured. Firefighters were able to rescue five cats from the flames.
Chief Bell was captured on video giving one of the rescued cats to Thomas Montgomery, a resident who lives in a nearby apartment building.
“My first thoughts were I have two cats of my own," said Montgomery. "My first instinct was go grab it so he can go in and get the other."
Fire officials will continue to investigate the incident, but the department told us it looks like the fire possibly started because a resident was barbecuing out on the balcony of their apartment.
