3 houses damaged, 2 families displaced in overnight fire in Dayton

Dayton Fire Department crews responded to the area of East Third and North Findlay streets around 12:41 a.m., according to fire department. Ten Dayton crews responded, with the Kettering Fire Department providing assistance.

When crews arrived, the house was fully-involved and the fire was spreading to houses on either side. Due to the severity of the fire, crews performed defensive operations on the main house and other firefighters worked to mitigate the spread to the other two houses.

All three houses were heavily damaged, according to the fire department. A damage estimate is pending.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
