One person is dead following a structure fire in Mackinac County.
The fire happened about 10-12 miles west of St. Ignace in Moran Township sometime overnight between Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning and consumed the entire structure.
Deputies from the Mackinac County Sheriff’s Office were called to the scene after a report from the electric company which detected a problem with the meter at the residence.
When electric company personnel arrived to investigate, the house was nearly completely burned.
There were no nearby homes that are occupied and the closest neighbors were not within sight of the home.
The St. Ignace Fire department and Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office discovered possible human remains in the aftermath of the fire.
The identification of that victim is not known at this time and the cause of the fire has not been determined.
