FD: Bed bug home remedy caused fire

COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio - A family of six, including four children is displaced after their apartment in Colerain Township caught fire.

Crews responded to the apartment building in the 3500 block of Galbraith Road at about 9:30 Saturday evening.  When they arrived, heavy smoke and flames were seen shooting from the roof of the building.

Capt. Steven Conn with the Colerain Township Fire department says a common home remedy used to treat bed bugs is to blame for the fire.

A resident at the apartment was using isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle to kill bed bugs.

Conn says that spraying alcohol makes a vapor that is extremely flammable and only needs a simple source to start a fire.

In Saturday's case, that source was a simple cigarette. Candles, furnaces or other heat sources can also ignite a fire.

Everyone made it out of the home safely and the family is now receiving assistance from the Red Cross.

Springfield Township and Green Township fire departments also responded for mutual aid.

The fire has been estimated to have caused $30,000 in damage.
