The Ypsilanti Township Fire Department with help from the Ypsilanti Fire Department put out a bedroom fire at 5 a.m. Saturday morning at a single-family home in the 2300 block of Cedarcliff Drive.
A passerby reported the fire when he saw flames and smoke coming from the front bedroom window of the home. There was no one at the house when firefighters arrived, and an eviction notice was posted on the door.
According to Ypsilanti Township Fire Department Captain Brad Johnson, the fire was confined to a front bedroom and started on the mattress of a bed when an item ignited.
"it is under investigation as a suspicious fire," said Johnson, who said firefighters were able to bring the fire under control within 15 minutes of their arrival.
Property damage to the home is estimated at $10,000.
