Cause of Vicksburg Village Fire Declared to Be ‘Undetermined’

The State Fire Marshal’s Office has ruled that the cause of the July Vicksburg Village Apartments fire is undetermined, the City of Plymouth announced Thursday.

The investigation identified “multiple ignition possibilities” but couldn’t determine the primary source of the fire in the 62-unit building, located at 15750 Rockford Road. Consequently, the cause of the fire was declared to be undetermined.

Fire broke out at the building just before 4 a.m. July 12. Crews arrived to find the fire already well advanced on three floors in the middle of the building.

About 50 to 60 people escaped from the building, and no one was hurt. There were about 20 units somehow affected by the fire—either by fire, smoke or water damage or a combination of those.
