On October 16, 2026, at 3:28pm, ADPS and Sheridan Township Fire Department (STFD) were dispatched to the 300 Block of Wild St. in Albion for a reported structure fire.

Upon arrival, a garage was found fully involved, and smoke and flames were observed in the attic of the residence, which is unoccupied.

Albion Township Fire Department (ATFD) also responded to the scene to provide mutual aid. The fire was extinguished and appears to have originated in the garage, but the cause is unknown at this time.

ADPS was assisted by STFD, ATFD, Albion Community Ambulance, and Calhoun County 911.

As we continue Fire Prevention Week, the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Management, and 911 Dispatch want to share two simple ways to prevent lithium‑ion battery fires:

⚡ Use the Right Charger

Always use the charger and cord that came with your device—or ones approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

⚡ Charge on a Safe, Hard Surface

- Charge devices on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor.
- Avoid beds, couches, and pillows—soft surfaces trap heat and can cause batteries to overheat.

SATURDAY: EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OUTLOOK

The latest WPC outlook places southern Lower Michigan in a Slight Risk for excessive rainfall, with a broader Marginal Risk extending farther north.

Periods of heavier rain could lead to localized flooding, especially in areas that received repeated rounds of rain. This outlook is valid from 8 AM Saturday to 8 AM Sunday. And remember, if you come across a flooded roadway this weekend, don't chance it. Turn around and find another route.
