The Dalton Fire Department was dispatched to a commercial fire in the downtown area Friday evening.
According to the fire department , the fire was reported at approximately 8:14 p.m., and crews arrived to find a heavy fire on the south side of the structure in a second-floor unit.
Crews immediately initiated an interior fire attack, but due to the size of the multi-occupancy complex, mutual aid from neighboring departments were called to assist. The fire department said crews aggressively checked adjacent units to prevent fire extension, and the Orrville Fire Department successfully set up their aerial apparatus to the roof to conduct fire attacks from above.
The North Lawrence Fire Department also established south side operations to manage suppression efforts on that side of the building. Firefighters said thanks to the fast work and seamless coordination of all the units, the fire was successfully contained to the single building with limited spread to the adjacent structures. The Ohio State Fire Marshal’s Office was called to conduct an investigation into the cause of the fire.
The American Red Cross also responded to assist the several families who were displaced from the fire, and Design Restoration arrived on scene to secure and board up the structure. Dalton Fire extended its gratitude on social media to the mutual aid partners, dispatchers and support agencies for their rapid response and hard work to help contain the fire.
