CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - A propane torch is believed to be the cause of a Cleveland house fire after a resident attempted to heat up the group home, according Cleveland Media Relations Director Daniel Williams.
The incident happened on Saturday morning on the 9700 block of Denison Avenue.
Williams said there was no heat in the home and this is why the resident was using a propane torch to stay warm.
