ROCKY RIVER, Ohio — The Rocky River Fire Department is on the scene of a massive structure fire.

The fire broke out Sunday evening at an unoccupied condominium project under construction on Hilliard Boulevard between Wooster Road and Valley View Drive, according to the Rocky River Fire Department.

Interstate 90 lanes were shut down in both directions but have since reopened, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

High winds caused ash to be blown across I-90, the Rocky River Fire Department said.

No injuries have been reported at this time.

 

Authorities have shut off the power in the area and the American Red Cross has been notified, according to city officials.

The Don Umerley Civic Center located at 21016 Hilliard Blvd. has been opened for residents in the area, police said.

Police confirmed the fire has spread to at least one other building.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. Dominion Energy was called to the scene after rescue crews reported the smell of gas. Dominion Energy crews say they did not find natural gas, they found propane.

The condo project was new construction and was nearly completely framed before it caught fire Sunday, according to city officials.

Smoke from the fire showed up on radar from Rocky River, according to News 5 meteorologist Trent Magill.

Fire crews are asking the public to avoid the area.

This is a developing story. News 5 will provide updates as they become available.
