Fire crews battle flames at apartment in north Toledo

Fire officials say the roof of the apartment collapsed and flames spread to the house next door; no one was injured.

TOLEDO, Ohio — A fire caused almost $100,000 worth of damage after a north Toledo apartment went up in flames early on Saturday morning.

The Toledo Fire and Rescue Department says the fire broke out around 1:30 a.m. at a building at 804 Buckeye on the corner of Buckeye Street and N. Ontario.

The 2 1/2 story duplex had fire heavy fire coming from all sides of the building when firefighters arrived. 

TFRD says the fire extended to 802 and 806 Buckeye as well.

TFRD says the commercial building was vacant and classified as a "code red" building. 

Because the fire was so heavy and the building unstable, firefighters did not try to save it, but rather worked to keep the fire from extending into surrounding occupied homes.

Fire officials say the roof of the building collapsed and flames spread to the house next door.

No one was injured in the fire. 

The estimated total loss was $94,000. The building was razed later on Saturday morning.

Investigators are continuing to investigate the cause of the fire.
