Two-alarm fire in Lockland

I heard the sirens last night, but so often they are called in to other areas I had no idea the fire was in Lockland. If I had known I would have gone down to see if there was anything I could have done to help the people who were displaced by the fire. I hope that they are ok, and being taken care of properly.


Firefighters battled a two-alarm fire that broke out in an apartment building late Tuesday.

Around 11:30 p.m., fire officials received report of heavy smoke on Mulberry Court.

A second alarm was called several minutes later to battle the blaze.

There were no injuries, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, which dispatches for the Lockland Fire Department.

The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen. The cause of the fire and amount of damage were not immediately available as firefighters continued working past midnight.

The American Red Cross is helping the family displaced by the fire find temporary lodging.
