DAYTON — Dayton firefighters quickly put out a fire in a house in the 100 block of South Euclid Avenue in Dayton at around 11:45 p.m. Sunday night, saving a woman that firefighters said was inside.
According to District Chief Cheryl Clark, fire crews were originally dispatched to a report of smoke coming from a structure, and arrived to find fire on the second floor of the house.

Fire crews found a woman on the first floor and evacuated her from the building, after which she left the area.
Fire crews were able to knock down the fire fairly quickly, and there were no injuries.
Initial investigation found that the house had no utilities, and although the building was occupied fire crews were unsure if the woman inside was the owner of the house or squatting inside. The home had no working smoke detectors.
The fire remains under investigation.
