Yesterday morning, a fire in East Westwood on Westwood Northern Boulevard left two people with injuries and displaced an adult and two minors, as reported by FOX19. District Fire Chief Craig Coburn detailed that firefighters were called to the scene around 5:25 a.m., engaging in an assertive attack on the third-floor blaze. While the residents had self-evacuated before their arrival, the firefighters conducted a deliberate search to ensure no victims remained inside.
The Red Cross has stepped in to support those affected by the incident. The fire, which took hold in a three-story residential building, caused an estimated $20,000 in damage. Authorities have not specified the scope of the injuries sustained by the two individuals. According to Local12, the fire department responded to smoke at the address and found the upper story aflame.
Adding to the reports, WLWT confirmed that three people had been displaced due to the fire, which was put under control, and no victims were found inside the building. Cincinnati fire officials initially reported on social media that one person had been taken to the hospital, but the exact nature of the injuries remained unclear.
