Just before 6 p.m., Dayton fire crews were called to South Conover Street for reports of a fire, according to Dayton District Chief Andrew Wiley.
Wiley said when crews arrived on scene they found flames already shooting through the roof of the home.
Because of this, it was not safe for them to go inside and search the home.

“In cases like this, there’s just no way crews can go inside. Even with the gear we had our crews would be severely injured or killed if they went into something like that,” Wiley explained.
Wiley said the cause of the fire is still under investigation but is “suspicious.”
No injuries have been reported and the house appeared to be vacant.
