Cleanup continued through Tuesday morning, with crews continuing to extinguish hotspots and clear debris from the road.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, with multiple agencies including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives working to determine the cause, according to a Facebook post by Clinton Township Police Department.

Officials said Tuesday afternoon that during the blaze at the site, which housed Goo Smoke Shop and Select Distributors, included the explosions of butane and nitrous oxide, lighter fluid, vape pens, and canisters measuring 12-18 inches and weighing 10-15 pounds, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Clinton Township Supervisor Bob Cannon said those who applied for permits for the site "to do something that we thought they were going to do, which was legal, ended up doing something that is clearly not only illegal, but immoral and dangerous," according to reporting by the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network.

Two business owners were interviewed by the fire prevention division as well as the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives at police headquarters Monday night, Township Fire Chief Tim Duncan said.

Neither were in police custody Tuesday morning, the Free Reported.
