News Center 7′s Mason Fletcher says the whole area is still blocked off Tuesday morning.
It will remain closed until the damage is repaired.
“Thank God for the firefighters and the public servants,” Peter McLinden said. “Kind of scary, but we got to know that Dayton’s an older city.”
Dayton firefighters say it remains under investigation.
“At this time, we’re not sure if it’s weather-related because it is very windy, or if it was just age-related and it just happened to come down,” said Dayton Fire Department District Chief Nick Judge.
