MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. – A historic home on Mackinac Island was badly damaged Sunday evening due to a fire.

Photos and videos from the scene captures flames erupting from the roof of the Brigadoon Cottage.

Witnesses said the roof is severely damaged, but it doesn’t appear that fire spread to other buildings.

“We arrived before the first responders since we were sitting on a porch a few doors down,” said Heather Fairbanks. “We’re so grateful they were able to respond and contain the fire so quickly.”

Fairbanks said the Mackinac Island Fire Department arrived within minutes after flames became visible.

No injuries were reported.
