Smoke Detector Saves Two in Ohio Blaze

Dayton firefighters said a man and his son are alive Friday morning thanks to a smoke detector.

Crews were called to the 1600 block of Leah Drive at about 4 a.m. on a structure fire.

Officials said a space heater sparked the fire and then the flames spread to the nearby couch.

No was hurt, but the home is a total loss, fire crews said.
