Gibraltar Police and Fire arrived and discovered a home with visible flames and smoke coming out of the second floor. Officers quickly located the homeowner outside of his residence with one of his dogs. The city of Gibraltar was assisted by our mutual aid partners from Flat Rock Fire, Woodhaven Fire, and Rockwood Police and Fire. The City is grateful to the man and women that responded to the scene to help. We had former city employees and residents on location all offering assistance.

We are saddened to report that one family dog was lost in the fire. ... See MoreSee Less
