Toledo firefighters battled two blazes yesterday, including a two-alarm fire at 87 City Park Ave.

A commercial building at the City Park address sustained about $150,000 damage in the blaze reported about 12:40 a.m., Battalion Fire Chief Jerry Abair said. The blaze remains under investigation.

About six hours later, arson destroyed a vacant two-story house at 835 Oakwood Ave., and damaged a neighboring vacant house. Damage to 835 Oakwood was estimated at $20,000 before the house was razed, Battalion Fire Chief Dennis Facer said.
