UPDATE AT 9:15PM
Law enforcement and emergency responders are attending to continuous explosions in Clinton Township, Michigan. The source is potentially a fireworks facility, although this assertion is presently unverified. Firefighting teams have withdrawn to their vehicles as adjacent roads are shut down, with the property owner notifying authorities of a 10,000-gallon diesel fuel tank being on-property. Nearby residents are being evacuated, and individuals are strongly advised to steer clear of the area immediately due to the ongoing risk of further explosions. The situation remains dynamic.
