An overnight fire in Toledo destroyed a commercial structure owned by one of it’s own volunteer firefighters, according to Chief Grant Wiltbank.
Firefighters were called around 12:30 a.m. to the building on Ramsey Way, next door to the historic buildings that burned on Christmas Day [1], Wiltbank said.
The chief wasn’t on the scene, but said it was his understanding the building was fully involved in flames when crews arrived. They fought it defensively, meaning they worked simply to keep adjacent structures from catching fire, he said.
One engine remained on the scene this morning, he said.
The business was like a liquidator, he said, and among the items the building contained were like 200 doors, he said.
There’s not word yet as to the cause, he said.
