Firefighters face discharging ammunition at gun shop fire

the word Fire

Firefighters who put out a blaze that gutted a gun shop in western Michigan faced discharging ammunition as they worked to subdue the flames.

The fire burned Wednesday evening at Grasmeyer Bros. gun shop in Muskegon County's Dalton Township. No injuries were reported.

The Muskegon Chronicle reports Dalton Township Fire Chief Alan Styles says the business was closed for the day at the time of the fire. He says ammunition was "still live and discharging."

Crews from a dozen departments responded and extinguished the fire after a few hours.

WOOD-TV reports the fire may have spread from the gunsmith area of the building, but the cause is under investigation.
