ANN ARBOR – Firefighters are investigating a house fire that happened earlier this week where officials believe pollen may have helped spread flames to nearby properties.

Ann Arbor Fire Department crews were called to Eden Court in the Bryant neighborhood around 5 p.m. on Thursday.

They found the front of the house and attic on fire when they arrived, officials said.

AAFD officials said there was a layer of fluffy pollen around the building which caused the fire to spread to three adjacent houses and a large woodland area. The homes received minor exterior damage.

No one was injured and some personal belongings were saved as crews put out the fire. The official cause of the fire is under investigation.

Editor’s note: This article originally reported the fire was caused by pollen. It has since been corrected to report the pollen helped spread the fire, but it hasn’t been named as a cause of the fire.
