CINCINNATI — Three people, including a child and a pregnant woman, were injured Monday morning in an apartment fire in the 2000 block of West Galbraith Road, the Colerain Fire Department said.
The fire began at approximately 3:15 a.m. with heavy smoke from the second floor, a CFD representative told WCPO 9 on scene.
The fire was “small” with damage from smoke and water, officials said.
Colerain Fire Chief Allen Walls said a 2-year-old girl was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital. A 24-year-old woman, who is 33 weeks pregnant, was taken to the UC Medical Center, Walls said. A 51-year-old woman was also taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, according to Walls.
Officials said all three people injured are from the same family and were believed to be sleeping when the fire started. Walls said the 2-year-old and the 51-year-old were both found by firefighters together in a bedroom, while the 24-year-old woman was in the hallway just outside the apartment on fire.
Colerain fire officials said on Tuesday that when firefighters arrived at the home, the smoke was so thick they had to use a thermal imaging camera to find the 2-year-old and 51-year-old woman.
Fire officials did not say anything about the victims' conditions or what there injuries were.
Roughly 20 people were displaced from the 25-unit complex.
There is no estimate on cost of damage at this time.
Colerain Fire is still investigating the cause of the fire.
