Fireplace Ruled Preliminary Cause of Ramtown House Fire

No reported injuries as family gets out safely

 

No injuries were reported in a house fire on Pine Cone Lane in the Ramtown section of town Sunday morning.

The Ramtown Fire Department responded to the fire just before 7 a.m. Upon arrival all residents, including Kevin Lotosky, 54, and a group of juveniles, had gotten out of the house without injury, according to Howell Township Police Officer John Barroqueiro Jr.

The fire, which was located on the second floor of a two-story residential house, was extinguished in a relatively short period of time, according to Barroqueiro.

The preliminary cause was the homeowner improperly installed a ventless gas fireplace, Barroqueiro said. The fire is still under investigation by the Howell Township Fire Bureau.
