Electrical Fire Closes State Capitol

No one is injured, but the Michigan Capitol has been temporarily closed due to a small fire. State Senator John Proos tells us the electrical fire broke out Friday morning, and one person had to be treated for smoke inhalation. Proos’ office is in the Capitol building, meaning it is now closed for the remainder of this week. He also tells us the phones are also temporarily down. If you need to reach Proos’ office, wait to call until Monday or email SenJProos@senate.michigan.gov.
