WASHINGTON TWP. OH. —
MICAH RIFFLE, Dayton Daily News
Crews were dispatched to the 1900 block of Washington South Drive at 1:15 p.m. on reports of a building fire. Once on scene, they found heavy black smoke pouring from an attic area of a unit of four condos.
No life-threatening injuries were reported in the fire that officials say affected at least ten of the complex’s twelve units. Responders pulled one woman off of a second floor balcony and one man from a stairwell during the initial response, they were both taken to area hospitals.
Unfortunately the man pulled from the interior died from complications of smoke inhalation 24 days later. The wife was saved using a portable ladder on the C-side of the large building.
