TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - Toledo Fire and Rescue officials deemed a house fire suspicious in nature. The fire also sent a firefighter to the hospital.

A fire broke out at a duplex on Parker St. Friday morning, resulting in lots of smoke and water damage. TFRD said it started on the first floor and spread to a neighboring home after flames ran up the side of the building.
