Fire Damages Euclid Avenue Porch

A minor mulch fire provided minor damage to the porch of 134 S. Euclid Ave. on Wednesday afternoon.

Fire Department officials at the scene said the minor fire started under the porch and brought some smoke into the building. Parts of the screen surrounding the bottom of the porch had been removed to extinguish the fire.

The porch sustained some minor damage in parts, but firefighters were seen walking on other parts of the porch in order to remove equipment installed to ventilate the building of smoke. One fire engine and two police cars responded to the scene, which did not impact traffic on the medical office heavy block of Euclid, between East Broad Street and Lenox Avenue.

The building, next to the entrance to the St. Paul's Episcopal Church parking lot, is the home to Westfield Cardiology and several other professional offices. According to a sign outside, Coldwell Banker is leasing office space in the building.
