MARQUETTE, MI – (Great Lakes Radio News) – The cause of a structure fire yesterday in Forsyth Township has been determined.
The fire in a trailer at 725 Old M-35 is being blamed on heat tape used to insulate pipes. Investigators say the tape shorted out, causing insulation in the structure to ignite.
