12/6/2008

A Perrysburg family of nine is without a habitable home as a result of a fire in a rear bedroom Friday night, Perrysburg Fire Chief Jeff Klein said.

The fire, at 403 West Third St., the home of the Casey Steinline family, was discovered at about 9:40 p.m. by a member who was returning from a walk and rousted everyone from the house, Chief Klein said.

The blaze was confined to a rear bedroom, and no cause has been determined, the chief said. He estimated the damage at $50,000.

The Red Cross placed the three adults and six children in an area motel, Chief Klein said.
