Nobody was hurt and the apartment is not habitable.
Nobody was hurt in a Thursday night apartment fire, according to Fairlawn fire Chief Russ Hose. The 9 p.m. fire on Riviera Drive in Fairlawn is being called accidental by investigators. Hose said the fire may have started when a candle was left unattended. The fire just damaged one apartment, and because of smoke damage, the residents can't live there, Hose said. The four-unit apartment building, at 2824 Riviera Drive, was half vacant, Hose said. The other tenant was not hurt. Fairlawn called the Copley and Bath fire departments for help.

A Bath Township police officer was doing a routine check of Bath Community Activity Center on June 29 when he saw smoke coming from one of the pavilions. The officer saw one corner of the pavilion was on fire and was burning up toward the roof, a police report said. The fire started on the wood decking in a nearby trash can, said Parks Director Mike Rorar. It burned the trash can to the ground, then caught the deck on fire and it spread to the support post. When the officer saw the fire, he immediately alerted the Bath Township Fire Department and it was extinguished within minutes. Rorar said it looks like someone threw away a candle that melted in the heat and caught fire. "If it had burned for 10 more minutes, we wouldn't have a shelter…

The fire started around 1 p.m. Monday.
A Granger Road man's house caught fire Monday afternoon as he was renovating the home, said Bath Township fire Chief Walter Hower. The home, at 4363 Granger Road, is owned by Bart Pignatelli, according to the Summit County Auditor's website, but that could not be readily confirmed with Hower. The fire was caused when the owner used a heat gun to remove paint from the house. Hower calls the fire accidental. There was an estimated $40,000 in damage to the structure, but there were no contents in the house since it is being renovated, Hower said. There were no injuries, and the fire was out within 15 minutes. About six gallons of water was used, Hower said. Mutual aid was provided by Fairlawn and Richfield fire departments.
