Fire caused by construction debris in Dayton, Ohio, damages building

A construction debris fire in downtown Dayton, Ohio, caused damage to a neighboring building, reports the Dayton Daily News.

The fire, which ignited in a large dumpster, was reported at 2:20 p.m. and shut down parts of South Ludlow and West Fifth streets while Dayton Dire Department crews worked to get the fire under control.

The subjected building, located at 221 S. Ludlow St., was charred, and a wooden back door was damaged. It was currently under renovation.

Fire officials said discarded smoking material appears to have started the fire in the dumpster, but that the fire was fed by propane from a propane tank next to it that was in use at the work site.

The fire remains under investigation.
