Mariemont House Fire Requires More Than 40 Firefighters
I still remember reading the first reports that came in just before 4 p.m. on Friday. A fire had broken out on Haines Street, near Miami Road and Wooster Pike, and within minutes smoke could be seen rising above Mariemont.
By the time fire crews arrived, it wasn’t just a small blaze — flames had already spread from the upstairs to the first floor, turning a quiet street into a chaotic scene.
What struck me most was the scale of the response. This wasn’t handled by one department alone. Crews from Mariemont, Anderson, Norwood, Sycamore Township, Union Township, Milford, Madeira, and even Cincinnati all showed up. Around 42 firefighters in total. That tells you how serious the fire really was…
