Electrical Short Sparked Ohio Blaze

    April 26, 2006
    Everyone escaped without injury.

    Fire investigators said an electrical short is to blame for a fire that burned a Dayton family out of their home Tuesday night.

    The fire started in one of the units of an apartment building in the 3000 block of Wexford Place.

    Fire investigators said a mother and her six children lived in that unit.

    Everyone got out OK.

    The blaze did around $30,000 in damages.

    The Red Cross is assisting the family.
