Michigan State Police and other authorities are investigating a string of suspicious fires this morning in Clyde Township, including a barn fire that killed 18 horses.
Clyde Township firefighters received a call about 4:30 a.m. Saturday morning that a barn on the 3100 block of McLain Road.
Fire Chief Gary May said the barn was already engulfed in flames when firefighters reached the scene. None of the horses survived the incident.
Other McLain Road fires discovered this morning include a truck and porch fire in the 3400 block, dog house-shed in the 3300 block and a garbage can in the 3100 block.
