Loveland, Ohio – Around midnight the Loveland-Symmes Fire Department (LSFD) responded a fire at the Carrington Crossing condominium complex on Carrington Lane and immediately went to a 2nd alarm.
The fire started on the second floor of the three story building and spread to the roof, throughout the attic of the other units and eventually involved the entire building. The second floor where the fire started collapsed.
About 35 people were displaced from 24 units however no one was injured and all residents escaped on their own.
LSFD reported that based upon multiple calls and reports of people on balconies, “Battalion 62 struck a second alarm prior to arrival.”
Per Chief Otto Huber, “The fire started after a resident used a burning tool on her fingernails and something began to melt. She caught the overflow in a container and thought she had it under control but it got so hot it caught fire and ignited, rapidly going up the wall of her condo, over the firewall separating her unit from others and then into the attic.”
