MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, MI-- Officials are investigating the cause of a house fire on South Vandenboom Street in Marquette Township.
Firefighters were called to the residence Monday just before 4 p.m. Four fire departments responded to the scene. Department of Natural Resources firefighters also responded when flames from the house ignited extremely dry brush in the nearby woods. High winds fanned the fire into a two-acre swath.

At the scene were officials from the Marquette Township Fire Department, Chocolay Township Fire Department, Negaunee Township Fire Department, the DNR, Marquette County Sheriff’s Office, Marquette County Rescue 131, and the Red Cross.
