A massive overnight fire at a major power plant in St. Clair County Friday lit up the sky and rattled nearby residents. Crews responded around 12:45 a.m. at DTE’s Blue Water Energy Center in East China Township, a facility that powers about 850,000 homes. One neighbor reported hearing a loud boom before seeing flames shoot from the building. Firefighters had the blaze under control by 1:30 a.m., and officials say there was no threat to the public. The cause and extent of damage remain under investigation.
