When they arrived on the scene, crews noticed a fire burning in an isolated area within the mansion.
Firefighters had to work to put out the fire from the outside of the building, due to the deteriorated condition following a previous fire, according to Dayton Fire Department (DFD) Captain Brad French.

As News Center 7 previously reported, the Traxler Mansion was severely damaged in a fire in April 2023.
French said the cause of Sunday’s fire was ‘undetermined.” The deteriorated condition from the previous made it unsafe for DFD personnel to enter and conduct a comprehensive investigation.
DFD was at the scene for approximately two hours. No injuries were reported during the incident.
