On the early morning of December 18, 2024, a devastating fire broke out at the Spruce Motor Lodge, located at 900 Lake St. in Roscommon, Michigan. The fire, which started shortly before 2 a.m., rapidly spread through the three-story building, filling the air with smoke. Firefighters from the Higgins Township Fire Department, along with deputies from the Roscommon County Sheriff’s Office, responded to the scene and successfully evacuated eight residents. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

The flames originated in the kitchen and quickly spread to the first floor, causing severe damage. With the help of eight fire departments from Roscommon and Crawford counties, firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control. To aid in their efforts, an excavating company demolished part of the building, allowing the fire crews to access and extinguish all of the flames.

By the time fire crews were able to contain the fire, the damage had reached an estimated $500,000. Firefighters remained at the scene well into the morning, extinguishing lingering hot spots and investigating the cause of the blaze.

The American Red Cross has stepped in to assist the displaced residents, providing housing, clothing, and other necessities. The Roscommon County Veterans Affairs Office is also offering support to veterans who were affected by the fire.

This event highlights the critical importance of early fire detection. As fires can spread rapidly, especially in large buildings, having advanced thermal imaging technology, such as Planck Vision Systems, plays a key role in detecting temperature anomalies and preventing catastrophic outcomes.

Planck Vision Systems leads with superior thermal imaging tailored for diverse industries. Beyond detecting minute temperature variations, our always-on technology ensures system protection, operational excellence, and catches every anomaly. This vigilance minimizes risks, preempting system failures and potential threats, ensuring the safety of both residents and property.
