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.

S.J. Organic Farms in Peck landed a big boost from the state. The Sanilac County business received nearly $99,000 through Michigan’s Last Food Mile grant program. The money will let them buy a refrigerated delivery vehicle so they can bring fresh organic produce, eggs, meat, and baked goods straight to local families. Customers in Marlette, Lexington, Port Huron, Davison, and Peck will have easier access to this nutritious food. This is one of only 21 projects funded statewide after more than 130 applications.

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.
