FEDERAL INVESTIGATION FOR
FIRING JAMES COMEY.
>>> BUT FIRST, SEVERAL
FAMILIES ARE TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY'LL BE
CALLING HOME NOW AFTER A
FIRE DAMAGES THEIR
APARTMENTS EARLY THIS
MORNING.
FIRE INVESTIGATORS NOW
BELIEVE A BURNING CANDLE
MIGHT BE TO BLAME FOR
CAUSING THAT FIRE.
IT HAPPENED EARLY THIS
MORNING AT THE WATERS EDGE
PARDON MES IN SOUTH LION.
AS OUR NICK MONACELLI
REPORTS NOBODY WAS HURT BUT
THE DAMAGE COULD BE MUST
WORSE.
>> Reporter: GOOD AFTERNOON,
WE SAY THE DAMAGE COULD BE A
LOT WORSE, BECAUSE OF HOW
THE FIRE COULD HAVE MOVED.
NOW FIREFIGHTERS DID A GOOD
JOB KEEPING THE FIRE
CONTAINED BUT ALSO AS THE
FIRE MOVED OUT OF THIS
APARTMENT HERE THERE WERE
FIREWALLS IN BETWEEN EVERY
TWO UNITS.
SO IT WAS BASICALLY
CONTAINED ON ITS OWN.
THERE ARE A TOTAL OF EIGHT
UNITS THOUGH THAT HAVE
DAMAGE OR COULD BE DESTROYED
BECAUSE OF ADDITIONAL SMOKE
AND WATER DAMAGE.
>> THESE APARTMENTS NEITHER
SOUTH LYON CLOSE TO 10 MILE
ROAD AND LAFAYETTE THE
MAJORITY OF THE DAMAGE IS
BETTER SEEN FROM THE BACK OF
THIS BUILDING.
IT'S BEEN BOARDED UP ALREADY
BUT THOSE UNITS UP THERE ARE
DESTROYED.
THERE'S ALSO SOME VIDEO FROM
OVERNIGHT THAT GIVES A
LITTLE BIT CLEARER
INDICATION OF WHAT KIND OF
DAMAGE WILL IS HERE.
NO ONE HAS OFFICIALLY SAID
JUST YET BUT IT IS BELIEVED
THAT THE FIRE STARTED HERE
BECAUSE OF A CANDLE.
RESIDENTS HERE SAY IT WAS
NOT CHAOS BUT THERE WAS
CERTAINLY CONCERN ABOUT
THOSE WHO WERE INSIDE.
>> FAMILIES CAME AROUND AND
TRIED TO KNOCK ON EVERYONES
DOORS TO WAKE THEM UP AND
SAID THE BUILDING IS ON FIRE
TO GET OUT.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW AT FIRST IF
THE PERSON IN THE ACTUAL
APARTMENT WHERE THE FIRE WAS
GOT OUT, BUT BECAUSE E.M.S.
SHOWED UP.
>> Reporter: WELL, AFTERNOON
STARTED COUNTING.
SOME OTHER NEIGHBORS FROM
ABOVE ME HERE KNEW EVERYBODY
AND MADE SURE EVERYBODY WAS
OUT.
>> Reporter: THE APARTMENT
COMPLEX WHICH, BY THE WAY IS
CALLED WATER'S EDGE
APARTMENTS TOOK CARE OF THE
PEOPLE INSIDE OF THESE
BURNED UNITS AND PUT THEM IN
A HOTEL LAST NIGHT.
AGAIN, NOBODY WAS INJURED.
NOW THEY JUST HAVE TO
FILLING OUT WHERE THEY'RE
GOING TO GO, WEAPONS ALL
THEIR STUFF ALL THEIR
BELONGINGS DESTROYED INSIDE.
THERE IS WORD THOUGH THAT
THE APARTMENT MAY BE PUTTING
THEM UP IN HOTELS AS LONG AS
IT TAKES TO GET THESE THINGS
FIXED UP.
IN SOUTH LYON, NICK
MONACELLI, LOC 4.

GET BREAKING NEWS THAT WE'RE

LITTLE BOUNDARY HERE WHERE
WE GET SOME SHOWERS

MORE OF SOME HAZY SUNSHINE

FOR SHOWERS AS WE HEAD
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS
AND THREE TO EIGHT IS THAT
TIME FRAME WHICH MEANS FOR
TAILGATERS TONIGHT MAYBE AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME A
COUPLE OF SHOWERS STILL
AROUND.
AND THEY'LL BE SPOTTY SO I'M
NOT SAYING THAT COMERICA
PARK IS GOING TO GET THESE
BUT MAYBE NOT A BAD IDEA
TAILGATERS TO HAVE SOME KIND
OF A DOME, UMBRELLA,
SOMETHING.
