Dayton Fire Chief Mike Fasnacht told our crews, fire personnel received a report from dispatch that a homeless individual lived in the garage.

Fire crews spent extra time searching the debris for any victims after the fire was knocked down.

According to Fasnacht, crews have found no one at this time.

The fire was knocked down relatively fast, however, it still caused minor damage to neighboring houses.

The fire has been deemed suspicious due to evidence of gas being set around the garage.

There are no suspects at this time.
