ESCANABA, MI— The likely cause of a fire that affected two Escanaba houses in March has been determined by the Escanaba Department of Public Safety.

Following an investigation, officers believe the fire started at a light/electrical box on the rear porch of 915 Sheridan. They say the cause does not appear to be intentional by human introduction of a heat source or flame.
Escanaba Public Safety encourages homeowners to regularly inspect electrical systems, especially in older homes, and to consult with a licensed electrician if any concerns arise.
