The most recent response came early Friday morning, on Colerain Ave. near Hopple Street off Interstate 75. Firefighters are now calling the fire "suspicious." Advertisement Crews say they were able to knock down the fire quickly, in about an hour. About 50 personnel responded to the scene. Fire officials and police arson investigators will investigate to determine if the fire was set deliberately, and will be looking for clues—such as accelerant—as part of the investigation. The fire was primarily focused inside a small restaurant, with smoke spreading to other areas of the building. Officials say the power had been cut off to the building after the fire earlier this week.
