7/2/2003

A bathroom fire of undetermined origin yesterday caused an estimated $30,000 damage to a family's house at 736 Oak St. in East Toledo, authorities said.

All occupants escaped unhurt by the time fire crews arrived about 7:30 p.m. and found heavy fire on the second floor at the back of the two-story, wood-frame structure, Toledo fire Lt. Greg Yingling said.

The fire spread to a second-floor bedroom and then to the roof by the time firefighters extinguished the blaze 20 minutes later, Lieutenant Yingling said.
