TOLEDO, Ohio — Editor's note: The above story originally aired on Friday, February 15.
Large parts of east Toledo were covered in black smoke on a breezy Saturday afternoon, visible from as far away as north Toledo, after two houses caught on fire.
The houses, next door to one another, on the 600-block of Federal St. near Nevada, caught fire around 5:30 p.m.
Over an hour later, firefighters were still dousing the homes with water, both of which had extensive damage.
Toledo Fire and Rescue Chief Allison Armstrong says wind likely played a big role in how much damage was sustained by both houses.
Firefighters say it's unknown if either of the homes was occupied.
