(STURGIS) – A Thursday night building fire is being investigated by authorities.

Sturgis Fire Marshall Cody Cripe says the Sturgis Fire Department was called at 5:30 PM to a structure fire at West West and North Clay Streets. When they arrived, firefighters realized the fire was contained to one area of the building, with flames coming from an upper level apartment.

Firefighters were able to control the blaze and eventually put it out. After the initial investigation, Sturgis Deputy Police Chief Ryan Banaszak said it appears the fire was intentionally set, and they are investigating it as an arson.

The Sturgis Police Department, Life Care Ambulance, the Sturgis Electric Department and Michigan Gas Utilities assisted at the scene.
