ST. JOSEPH TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Fire destroyed a home along the St. Joseph River Monday with firefighters remaining on scene to put out hotspots throughout afternoon.

Firefighters from St. Joseph Township Fire Department and members of the St. Joseph Department of Public Safety arrived on scene to fight the blaze.

Fire officials say the home was occupied when the fire began, and the residents escaped safely.

No injuries have been reported.

St. Joseph Township Fire Chief Brian Dwan said, “The main floor has fallen into the basement. When the roof collapsed, the first floor went into the basement, so no one is going into the basement right now, we’re just spraying foam, and putting hotspots out.”

Smoke was still coming from the remnants of the home during the afternoon, and firefighters remained on scene after the fire was out in order to get rid of hotspots.

The cause of the fire is currently unknown as investigators are still in the early stages.
