What Hank Graff Building Was Destroyed by Fire?
The building, which was formerly owned by Rayola Florist is located across the street from the Graff Chevrolet sales and service buildings. The Graff dealership's detailing and financial services had been moved to that building since its acquisition.
Multiple fire departments were called to the blaze on State Rd. in Davison Wednesday (1/12) around 8:30 pm. Firefighting efforts were coordinated by the Davison-Richfield Area Fire Department, according to the Davison Index. Crews from Elba Township, Burton, Lapeer, and Grand Blanc were called to help battle the blaze.
Davison-Richfield Area Fire Chief Brian Flewelling tells Mlive that the fire spread quickly.
“We had heavy fire involvement on the northwest corner of the building in the rear which quickly got into the attic and ran across the entire building,” he said.
Fortunately, no one was inside the building at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.
