Hamilton Fire Chief Mark Mercer said they don’t yet know a cause, but it was limited to one room and was extinguished “very fast,” calling it a “small fire” and damage appears to be limited to contents.

The Fairfield Twp. Fire Department responded to a mutual aid call, assisting in extinguishing the fire.
