House used for fire training catches fire

SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) - July 1, 2009

The cause of the fire early Wednesday in the Toledo suburb of Sylvania is under investigation.

On Tuesday morning, "controlled burn" fires had been set in the same house so four local lawmakers could suit up and accompany firefighters inside. The exercise was part of a program that gives officials a taste of what firefighting is like so they can understand fire department equipment and personnel needs.

The property will eventually be cleared to become public parkland.
