CINCINNATI — A Saturday morning house fire in Mt. Lookout caused one person to go to the hospital and the roof of the house to collapse in, Cincinnati Fire Chief Michael Washington said.

The two-alarm fire — located at 3471 Windisch Avenue — happened just before 9:30 a.m. Saturday, and when fire crews arrived they discovered heavy fire coming through the roof of the home, Washington said.

One occupant in the home was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.

The house sustained extensive damage, Washington said. Part of the home's roof collapsed in due to the fire, and the estimated damage is $750,000, per the Cincinnati Fire Department.
