Heatherdowns BMV location reopens after fire

A neighboring restaurant and title office have yet to reopen.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Editor's note: The above video is from previous coverage of this incident which aired on June 22, 2023.

The Heatherdowns Boulevard BMV location has reopened, less than three weeks after a fire in a neighboring business in the same strip caused damage to the building.

In a social media post made to Facebook Tuesday, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles said the location is now open. This comes after a June 22 fire rendered the Lucas County Title Office a "total loss" and damaged the BMV, as well as Sebastiano's Italian Restaurant. 

No one was injured in the fire, which authorities ruled accidental and said started as an electrical fire. 

It is still unknown when the Lucas County Title Office will reopen. In a June 28 update, Sebastiano's owners said they were still working to restore the restaurant and would provide updates when a reopening date was anticipated.
