'Still not safe:' Crews continue working on fire at Cascade Executive Center from Friday

There were no injuries in the fire that broke out Friday morning at the Cascade Executive Center, but there is extensive damage to the structure.

CASCADE, Mich. — A fire broke out at the Cascade Executive Center on 28th Street SE Friday morning, resulting in extensive damage to the structure and a breached roof.

Over the weekend, crews have been returning to the site to extinguish small pockets of steam and smoke under piles of rubble.

Two Cascade Township fire investigators and one external insurance investigator are on site trying to determine what caused the fire Monday morning. 

The Cascade Fire Department says the site is still not safe to visit.

The fire broke out at 11:55 a.m. and the Cascade Township Fire Department responded to the scene shortly afterward. They were supported by crews from Ada and Kentwood.

There were no injuries from the fire, but the neighboring Tutor Time daycare and a local dentist's office were evacuated.

Fire crews battled the blaze from inside the structure for about 30 minutes but eventually had to exit the building when conditions deteriorated. Crews continued to fight the fire from outside until the roof was breached.
