A fire at a northern Michigan paper mill has closed several roads and prompted state police to warn people to stay away from the area.
Authorities said they believe the fire was in a warehouse on the property.
“The smoke billowed for hours,” said Trisha Leask, an employee at a convenience store a few blocks from the fire. “It looked like black storm clouds.” Leask said she noticed the smoke Wednesday morning. It’s not the first time the property has caught fire, she added.“There was a bunch of smoke going up,” he said, noting that by 2:30 p.m. Wednesday the amount of smoke had subsided as firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze.
Miller also said the property has had a history of fires. “Lots, at least once a year,” he said. “That place is always on fire.”The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
