Beavercreek Police had part of Pascal Drive blocked off.
An officer told News Center 7 that neighbors were told to stay inside because the smoke was so thick.
Last night, News Center 7 crews on scene said the smell of smoke was strong. They also saw fire crews lining the street.
On Wednesday morning, crews could see debris in the grass and caution tape outside the home.
There is also damage to the siding on the house, and the windows are boarded up.
Another obstacle firefighters faced was the heat. When crews were out at Tuesday night’s fire, it was still about 75 degrees out, according to Storm Center 7 Meteorologist Britley Ritz.
For anyone who is out working in the heat, especially during the hottest times of the day, doctors want people to pay attention to signs that you may be overheating.
If you start to feel sick, you need to get out of the heat.
“Get somewhere cool, you know, get out of the wet clothing that you’re in, and start hydrating and cooling your body down,” Dr. Mark Conroy with Emergency Medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center said.
News Center 7 is working to learn if anyone was hurt, how long the fire burned, and what is next for the people who lived in the home.
We will continue to follow this story.
