Grayling 4 Mile Road Forest Fire

At about 3:00pm on April 24, 2008, a forest fire started just south of the industrial park in Grayling, MI. Within an hour the fire was threatening the city of Grayling, burning to within a few feet of businesses on the I-75 Business Loop. Thanks to the amazing work of the firefighters, the inferno was halted within a few feet of a gas station and prevented major destruction to residential areas of Grayling. Thanks to rain overnight, the fire is 100% contained, with only a few hot spots still smoldering. The National Weather Service predicts heavy rains, thunderstorms, hail and even snow in the next 24 hours.
