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.
