Apartment fire displaces 70 people, injures 3

The fire happened at the Miracle Manor Apartments in west Toledo overnight. The cause is currently unknown.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Seventy people were displaced and three people -- including two firefighters -- received minor injuries from a fire overnight at the Miracle Manor Apartments in west Toledo, according to TFRD Fire Chief Allison Armstrong.

The fire has been put out and the injured firefighters have been released.

The flames affected three buildings and approximately 24 units, the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department said.

According to the TFRD, firefighters were able to get ahead of the fire by placing a trench cut and stopping it from moving into the third building.

A roof partially collapsed from the flame at the building on Jamison Drive off of West Laskey Road. Ten TFRD crews responded to the scene.

Only one of the buildings was damaged, Armstrong said. The fire crews on the scene had to move water lines to fight the fire, which did not impact the residents' drinking water.

The leasing office at the apartments is nearly destroyed, according to security with Miracle Manor. Information like leasing for displaced people will be available at Sunnydale Estates starting Tuesday at noon.

The American Red Cross was also on the scene working to help residents displaced by the fire.

The cause of the fire is unknown. The Toledo Fire Investigation Unit is on scene and investigating the fire, the TFRD said in a Facebook post.
