TFRD rules house fire accidental

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - A chemical reaction from renovations at a Toledo home sparked a fire Friday morning, TFRD officials said.

A home in the 2600 block of Scottwood Avenue caught fire around 8:00 a.m. Friday morning. TFRD officials said Monday it was determined to be an accident, caused by an exothermic reaction from chemicals used during renovations to the house.

Editor’s note: a previous version of this story erroneously referred to the fire as a case of arson, as was reported in Toledo Police documentation in the department’s crime log. Toledo Fire and Rescue officials later confirmed the fire was ruled to be an accident.
