Fire Damages Office at LG's Quality Auto Care in Farmington

Farmington Public Safety (FPS) officers and Oakland County investigators are on the scene of a fire that damaged the front office at on Nine Mile and Farmington Roads tonight.

FPS Commander Justin DuLong said one officer was treated for heat exhaustion, but otherwise, there were no injuries. The temperature soared into the 90s today and at around 9:30 p.m. was still in the upper-80s. 

DuLong said multiple 911 calls came in to the department at around 7:19 p.m., after passersby spotted heavy smoke in the area. Officers found heavy smoke showing in the front office area of the building. The alarm company had notified a keyholder, who arrived and let firefighters inside, where they extinguished the fire, DuLong said. 

The fire was contained to the front office and did not spread the bays, he added.

"We don't know the cause. The Oakland County Cause and Origin Team is going down to assist in the investigation," DuLong said. 

He estimated damage at $20,000-30,000.
