A third fire happened around 6:55 p.m. at an apartment in Porter Hills Retirement Community, located off of Fulton Street near I-96 in Grand Rapids Township, according to Kent County dispatch.

The resident of that apartment and two Porter Hills employees suffered minor injuries, authorities say.

The fire was quickly put out and caused minor damage.

The cause of all three fires remain under investigation.

They all came during a busy day for first responders due to the ice storm.
