Basement electrical fire at Farmington Hills home

31290 Stonegate Court, Farmington Hills · Nov 4, 2026, 1:52 AM

Farmington Hills fire crews were sent around 1:52 AM to 31290 Stonegate Court for smoke in a home, with a fuse box in the basement reported sparking and smoking. Crews found nothing visible outside at first but smoke inside, and the homeowner reported a sparking electrical box and a fire that began in the basement. An underground electrical feed kept arcing too violently for crews to approach, and DTE was requested on an emergency basis. Firefighters eventually pulled the sparking meter, shut off gas, opened walls and ceilings in the basement and kitchen, ventilated, and shut off water from broken pipes. The fire was declared under control around 2:50 AM and out by about 3:25 AM, when command was terminated. Afterward the homeowner was reported to have minor burns to his hands and an ambulance crew was sent back to check him.
