Heavy fire conditions were seen on the second floor of the building, according to Assistant Dayton Fire Chief Brad French.
“Due to advanced fire conditions and the possibility of collapse, operations on the primary fire area were from a defensive position, and crews contained the fire with multiple hose lines and aerial ladder streams,” French said.
Photos from the scene show that part of the building’s roof was damaged by the fire.
No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Dayton Fire Department’s Fire Investigations Unit.
Anyone with information about the fire is asked to contact Fire Investigations at 937-333-TIPS (8477).
