The man was concerned that someone was inside the house.
“Is anyone inside?” he asked someone. “I’m going in!”
“Do not go in there!” the dispatcher responded. The man did not go in.
Initial scanner traffic indicated that fire was showing from a two-story wood frame home and the house was boarded up.
“It’s an abandoned house,” the caller said. “They go in and out all the time. I just saw someone come out a few minutes ago. Now, it’s an inferno.”
This is the second fire that Dayton firefighters responded to Thursday morning.
News Center 7 previously reported that two businesses at the 900 block of Patterson were damaged by an early morning fire just before 2:40 a.m.
