The CBS News makes specific report:
The Macomb County Sheriff's Office, which was assisting police, said evacuations were underway but the fire department told CBS News shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday that the fire was under control and there were no longer any evacuation orders in place. Air quality was monitored by the Macomb County HAZMAT team and "all was clear upon testing," the department added.
Clinton Township Fire Chief Tim Duncan said the vacant building had large butane and nitrous oxide tanks stored inside that might have been the source of the blaze. Duncan said one firefighter was hurt and the building was a "total loss."
