A devastating Christmas Day fire has left a Southfield apartment complex uninhabitable, forcing families to lean on each other and the community for support.

Officials said a 5-unit townhouse in Southfield has been deemed “uninhabitable” after a Christmas morning fire that injured two people.

Officials received a report of a fire at Cranbrook Centre Apartments around 8 a.m. Monday morning.

Investigators are looking into what caused a major fire at a Southfield apartment complex Sunday evening. Flames tore through the building leaving nearly a dozen families without a place to live. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – No one was injured during a Thursday morning apartment fire in Southfield. Southfield Fire Department chief Johnny Menifee said the building was undergoing renovations and there was a previous fire in the same unit. The fire happened at the Carnegie Park Apartment complex, located near the intersection of 11 Mile and Inkster roads. Multiple fire departments helped battle the three-alarm fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – A suburban Detroit paramedic repeatedly failed to recognize that a young woman declared dead was alive and misled a doctor by phone about her condition, according to state authorities who offered more details about the strange case. The incident was bizarre because a funeral home discovered Timesha Beauchamp was alive when she gasped while her body was being prepared on Aug. 23. The latest details are in a state license suspension filed last week against Michael Storms, a Southfield firefighter and paramedic, who was part of a four-member team responding to the home of the 20-year-old woman. The Southfield fire chief said the incident still remains under investigation by the city. The state said Storms changed his report when it was uploaded a second time to an incident database the next day.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – Four medics have been put on leave after a 20-year-old woman was declared dead and then found alive hours later. “She was breathing somewhat normal. So from all indication she was breathing somewhat normal, they told me it was because of the medication,” Beaucamp’s godmother said. The most alarming inaccurate statement is that a Southfield police officer placed Ms. Beauchamp in a body bag. Menifee said Southfield police arrived at about 8:07 a.m., and at 8:09 a.m., they announced that Beauchamp was dead and a physician was notified.
