DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A vacant house caught fire early Saturday morning on Todd Street.
According to the Montgomery County Regional Dispatch, the fire began at approximately 1:30 a.m. in the 400 block of Todd Street.
Our 2 NEWS weekend photographer spoke with Dayton Fire's District Chief, Nick Judge, on the scene.
Judge said this is a property the department is familiar with. He said it is a long-time vacant house which often used by squatters, and that the department has dealt with numerous fires on this street.

Bystanders told the DFD a person might be in the building when they arrived. The crews went inside the heavy fire and searched, but did not discover anyone inside.
'The fire is under investigation at this time; it is suspicious in nature,' said Judge. 'The house is boarded up, but we do not have a final cause determined yet.'
There were no injuries from the fire.
Judge called the house a total loss and said the house will likely be put on the demolition list for the city.
