UPDATE: At approximately 10:30 Tuesday morning, twelve hours after the initial call, the structure fire from last night reignited in Calumet Township. The insulation on the western wall of Loukus Technologies on Pine Street, just west of US-41, was smoldering for some time before flames appeared on the exterior, where the roof meets the wall. The fire spread quickly to the inside.
Calumet Township Fire and Rescue was called back out. They arrived on scene with two engines and brought the fire back under control. Owner Amy Loukus says she had no remarks for the press at this time. Damage is extensive, but the building is not a total loss.
