“I just feel really bad for the employees because now they’re out of a job.” A historic business in Manistee County since 1935 burnt to rubble. The Norman Township Fire Department says the Dublin General Store in Wellston caught fire early Saturday morning. Nine departments worked together to battle the flames starting around 3 a.m. The assistant fire chief tells us it was an explosive fire because the store sells ammunition. It took two hours to get under control. While the fire destroyed most of the store, crews were able to save a storage area in the back. “About a mile south of us we had four pumps pumping water out of the lake to keep the trucks filled and we went through hundreds of thousands of gallons of water. I think the biggest loss we suffered here today is the employees that count on this store for a paycheck,” says assistant fire chief for Norman Township, Daniel Funk.
