TOLEDO, Ohio — More than 12 hours after a former dairy along Berdan Avenue caught fire early Tuesday, Toledo Fire and Rescue crews remained on the scene Tuesday afternoon working to extinguish the blaze.
Firefighters were initially called to the abandoned former Babcock Dairy facility at the intersection of Berdan and Martha avenues shortly after 3 a.m..
Crews could not enter the building, as it would be unsafe for them to work on the structure.
No one was inside the building at the time of the fire, and there were no injuries, firefighters said.
The large fire was in a building that has been abandoned for many years.
The owner of the building is cooperating with fire investigators, explaining that they've been working on updates to the building.
One neighbor said it was shocking to see the building go up in flames, though the structure had become an eyesore in the neighborhood. By sunrise, the backside of the building had mostly burned.
