More than 100 residents displaced after South Toledo apartment fire

BLADE STAFF

A fire that started early Saturday morning damaged 11 buildings in a South Toledo apartment complex and caused more than 100 residents to be evacuated from their homes, fire officials said.

The three-alarm blaze was reported at 1:30 a.m. at the Hunter's Ridge complex on Gilbralter Heights near Byrne Road and Airport Highway. Battalion Chief David Hitt said no injuries were reported to either residents or firefighters.

Fire officials believe fireworks triggered the apartment complex fire. The blaze spread quickly to separate units in the 11 different buildings as they share an attic. The majority of the units are a total loss, with belongings inside the apartments and charred remains visible at the scene.

The battalion chief said most of Toledo's fire crews assisted and brought the fire under control by 5:30 a.m. Firefighters are expected to be on scene all day Saturday as the fire is still smoldering. Fire crews from Oregon and Washington Township departments covered Toledo city fire calls overnight while the apartments burned.

Displaced residents have been taken to a shelter at the nearby Bowsher High School.

The damaged buildings are expected to be torn down throughout Saturday.

It's wonderful that your grandson is all right. He's lucky that he has someone like you to help him handle what's happened.

anyone would be proud to have him as a grandson.

last year, one of his courses was taught by mr.(jon) hendrix and he attended a couple of hendrix concerts.

the textbooks from last quarter that were going to be turned in for refund are of course gone.

yes, Jon Hendricks teaches Jazz history at the University of Toledo. I'm taking nursing classes there, but his course does not fit into my requirements. I've been told that he basically fills the class hours with anecdotes. Might be interesting for someone like myself but not sure about the younger generation, who might not have heard of these jazz players.

Glad to hear your grandson is ok, Aloc.
