Jun. 22—Andrea Chapin was stunned to receive the call Tuesday afternoon from the bar and grill she has owned for six years in downtown Holly.

安迪(Andy)的位置附近奥克兰县北部村庄的布罗德街(Broad Street)附近,在邻近的一家企业爆发了大火,促使工作人员撤离。

Within hours, the second floor of the business she was renovating into an apartment had been reduced to a blackened ruin.

Chapin, who had hoped to welcome more crowds this summer amid festivals and an array of returning events, now worries about rebuilding.

“It’s very devastating for the whole community,” she said while watching fire crews douse the brick building on Tuesday night.

Dozens of firefighters spent hours battling the blaze Tuesday that spread to multiple buildings downtown, including the historic Holly Hotel, a venue for historical figures, a president, state governors and sports teams, according to online posts and officials.

奥克兰镇消防局长Paul Strelchuk说,五种警报的大火吸引了来自芬顿,独立镇,罗切斯特和米尔福德等机构的100多名消防员的回应。

Six firefighters and one civilian were hospitalized Tuesday due to the heat-related issues as temperatures reached the mid-90s, but their conditions were not considered life-threatening, he said.

预计船员将在周三的现场留在现场。他说:“我们将在这里很长时间。”

The fire shook residents who watched crews extinguish the flames, including those lapping at the upper floor of Andy’s Place.

The scene was difficult to take in, and the damage and loss enormous, they said.

“It’s devastating for everybody — the owners, the people who shop here,” said Matt Newmarch, who rushed to the scene when he learned about the fire. “It’ll take them a lot of years to rebuild.”

The blaze appeared to have started near the Battle Alley Arcade Antiques at about 4 p.m., fire officials said.

从那里,多达六个其他结构ffected either through flames or smoke, said Jon Ruthenbeck, a team leader with the Oakland County Incident Management Team and Clawson fire marshal.

The cause has not yet been determined, investigators said.

Chapin was not at the site when a co-worker alerted her that flames had reached Andy’s.

“The flames started getting higher and the wind got stronger and it engulfed my building,” she said while standing with her granddaughter across the street. “It got to the roof and the outside.”

The fire also spread to the Holly Moose Lodge No. 1168 next door.

“祈祷战士团结!”官员在Facebook上说。“……芬顿火有梯子卡车喷洒霍莉驼鹿屋顶!祈祷,祈祷,祈祷!”

附近的战斗巷咖啡的所有者琳达·斯托弗(Linda Stouffer)在她和她的工作人员准备关闭时发现了火焰。他们撤离了,但向第一响应者提供了饮料。

她周二晚上说:“太可怕了。”“这些是小型企业,它们是所有者经营的。这是一个小社区。我们非常沮丧,但我也知道,即使成员因通货膨胀和汽油价格而受到伤害,他们也会在他们周围集会。”

The Holly Hotel, a Queen Anne style facing Battle Alley, is an example of the “railroad hotels once so common in American small towns,” according to a website on the hotel’s history,hollyhotel.com.

1992年,当时的总统乔治·H·W.布什和他的妻子在布什在密歇根州的竞选活动期间选择了这家酒店作为晚餐停留。酒店的在线历史说,红翼在冠军赛期间带来了斯坦利杯。

周二的大火在1913年大火之后被摧毁了第二层和第三层,hollyhotel.comsaid. Then, “exactly sixty-five years to the date and to the hours of the first fire in 1913,” the hotel burned again on Jan. 19, 1978. Damage was $550,000 “and the last significant architectural link to the 1800s was being considered for demolition,” according to the site.

取而代之的是,它在“爱的劳动”中进行了翻新,并在维多利亚时代的触摸旁边重新融合了打捞的木材,栏杆,成型,瓷砖和玻璃。

“Please pray for our brothers and sisters at the Holly Moose Lodge!” Fenton Moose Lodge officials said on Facebook. “.. .Also please keep the first responders in your thoughts and prayers as they fight this fire.”

The situation, and usage, briefly turned Holly’s water brown, village officials said on Facebook.

“Holly is our home, and we are extremely grateful for our Village Of Holly Fire Department and all the surrounding areas Fire Departments that came to help in our time of need,” their post read.

“We are forever blessed that no one was hurt today. Yet, we mourn the loss of historic buildings and treasured businesses. We know our community will be strong and come together during this time.”

Chapin spent hours watching from behind yellow caution tape as crews tended to her business, which hosted events such as baby showers to family reunions.

她说:“我们想重建并再次完成。”
