Ignace Mayor Calls Fire Devastating

The mayor of Ignace says an early morning fire is devastating.

Lee Kennard has owned Gramma's Supermarket for the past five
years.

The grocery store went up in smoke this morning around 2:30.

Kennard says fire crews will likely be at the scene most of the day
putting out hot spots.

The fire is under control and was contained to the store itself, though
Kennard believes a home behind the building may have sustained some
damage.

No injuries have been report, and the cause of the blaze has not yet been
determined.

Highway 17 has also been re-opened after being closed for nine hours due to
the fire.
