A fire in the mid-Michigan community of Alma has prompted officials to close part of the city's downtown and delay the start of school.
The Morning Sun of Mount Pleasantreports the Alma Fire Department responded early Tuesday to the building housing Superior Street Barbershop.
No injuries were reported. The cause wasn't immediately known. Classes were delayed by two hours.
The shop's owner Miguel Ortiz plans to rebuild. He says there's space to work out of in a nearby building for now.
The fire is the second major downtown fire in Alma in the past year or so. A former business owner was sentenced to up to five years in prison in February for starting a March 2016 fire that destroyed two historic buildings and damaged a third building.
