On Sunday, July 5 at
approximately 2:24 A.M., the Butler Fire Department responded to a
report of a structure fire at 407 W. Ohio St..
On arrival, a 2 story,
wood frame residential structure was found to be approximately 60%
involved in fire.
Due to the large volume of
fire and the fact that the structure had been vacant for some time, a
defensive exterior attack was initiated to protect exposures.
After a large volume of
the fire was controlled, and due to the instability of the structure
preventing entry, the ladder truck was brought to he scene for
further extinguishment.
The fire was declared
under control at approximately 3:52 A.M., with the last units leaving
the scene at 6:08 A.M.
He structure of origin
sustained heavy fire damage. There was also some damage from radiant
heat to the residence at 405 W. Ohio.
Mutual aid was received
from Adrian Fire Department. There were no injuries.
