CINCINNATI — One firefighter was injured Sunday evening while battling a fire that left four people displaced in Lower Price Hill.
According to a press release by the Cincinnati Fire Department, crews responded to reports of a structure fire at the 1600 block of State Avenue at 6:08 p.m.
Upon arrival, crews were confronted with a fully involved fire engulfing all three floors of the home.
Crews attempted to enter the burning home after they were told there could be a victim inside, but the intensity of the flames forced them to stop after searching the first and second floors; later, firefighters learned there was never a victim inside.
Fire did spread to a nearby house, causing significant damage to the third floor attic space of the neighboring home.
Crews spent several hours extinguishing hot spots within the two buildings.
One firefighter was injured as a result of the fire. CFD did not say what those injuries were, or their severity.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
