Fire rips through Grosse Pointe Park roofing business

Crews spent the morning battle a fire at Heritage Roofing in Grosse Pointe Park and working to make sure it did not spread to a pub next door.

GROSSE POINTE PARK, Mich. (FOX 2) - Crews worked to put out a fire at a Grosse Pointe Park business early Wednesday and stopped it from spreading to a bar.

The call about the fire came in around 2 a.m.

Grosse Pointe Park Fire Sgt. Steve Thiel said firefighters had trouble getting inside Heritage Roofing because the building was cluttered. Once they made their way in and put out the initial fire, it had spread, so they had to fight the flames from the roof.

Thiel said firefighters were able to save O'Flaherty's, an Irish pub next to the roofing company on Charlevoix. No injuries were reported. 

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
