Fordson Dry Cleaners Heavily Damaged in Fire

A fire at Thursday night left the east Dearborn business heavily damaged.

The call for the fire came in just after the business closed, around 7 p.m. It was a two-alarm fire that blew out the doors of the business

The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Dearborn Fire Department.

While attempting to ventilate the building, the roof of the business caved in with three firefighters standing on top of it. One man almost fell in, but was pulled to safety.

There were no injuries. The building, however, was likely burned beyond repair–as were customers' clothes inside.

Fordson Cleaners has been in business in Dearborn since 1949, and cleans everything from draperies and rugs to wedding gowns and commercial orders.
