VIDEO: Officials say 1 believed to be inside after massive fire at Ohio home

PHOTOS: A domestic dispute between two brothers escalated into a dangerous standoff and massive house fire Friday night in Hamilton, according to Assistant Police Chief Brian Robinson.

Robinson said police were called to a home in the 200 block of Eaton Avenue around 6:50 p.m. after a third party reported two men fighting in the front yard.

The first officer arrived approximately eight minutes later and found a man outside with blood and an injury to his arm. The man told police he had been in a physical altercation with his brother, who had been drinking.

According to Robinson, the injured man said his brother was also severely injured and had run back inside the home after the fight. Both men are believed to be in their mid-to-late 20s. By approximately 8:30 p.m., flames were visible through the windows and roof of the home.

Firefighters initially remained outside because of the reported gunfire and information from family members that several guns and a large amount of ammunition may have been inside. Police said some of the popping sounds heard after the fire began may have been ammunition igniting in the flames.

Once crews moved closer to attack the fire, police officers used ballistic shields to protect firefighters in case shots were fired from the home.

Firefighter among 7 injured in crash involving ladder truck in South Los Angeles

At least seven people have been injured in an accident involving a Los Angeles Fire Department ladder truck and three other vehicles in South Los Angeles. This crash happened around 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of South Figueroa Street and 120th Street, near the 110 and 105 freeways.

Video from the Citizen App shows the fire truck lodged in the front of a sports bar near a laundromat. Three sedans were seen crashed right next to it.

A firefighter is among the injured, according to LAFD, and one person had to be extricated from a vehicle. All seven injured people were taken to the hospital in unknown condition. The intersection remained shut down for hours, with the fire truck still lodged in the building before crews eventually towed it away.

The cause of the accident is under investigation. This is the second accident involving a city fire department vehicle in the past four days.

“I know that they were going emergency when they were responding to that incident, when they were involved in that traffic accident at this intersection,” said Capt. Anthony Tubbs with LAFD. “There’s pretty significant damage to our apparatus, as well as a couple civilian vehicles, enough to result in seven individuals who needed to be transported.”
