Residents in Michigan’s Fruitport, around Spring Lake, are relieved after they were told Saturday evening around 6:15 p.m. that an emergency evacuation order had been lifted for those living around a local light manufacturing facility that reported an explosion risk from a factory fire.

The emergency order was called for residents within a half mile radius of the factory earlier on Saturday around 5 p.m. in relation to the high potential for an explosion at an industrial fire at 14638 Apple Drive, Fruitport.
