Firefighters Rescue Dog
Port Huron firefighters saved a dog from a house fire Friday morning on Oak Street. Crews arrived at the 1900 block just before 10 a.m. and quickly knocked down the flames in the kitchen. No people were inside, but the homeowner told them their dog was still trapped. Firefighters searched and found the pet in a bedroom. They carried the dog out safely. Tri-Hospital EMS helped it breathe before animal control took over and rushed it to a vet for treatment. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Drivers on M-46 can now clearly see McKenzie Health System’s new hospital rising from the ground. Construction continues to move forward after the last update in March. Crews are pushing ahead with underground electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work in areas C and D, while utilities advance into area B. Steel framing panels are going up along the north side, with work now starting on the east elevation too. Roof installation begins soon, along with backfilling and temporary power service. The new facility is expected to open next spring.

Most Stores Pass Underage Alcohol Sting
Port Huron Police say most local stores are doing their part to keep alcohol out of the hands of minors. On Tuesday, officers sent underage decoys into 31 licensed businesses in the city. Thirty of them refused to sell alcohol and passed the check. Only one store failed: the Kroger at 2907 Krafft Road. Police are praising the compliant businesses and reminding all sellers to always check IDs. This helps stop underage drinking before it starts.
