A Dayton business was heavily damaged by fire late Sunday.
The fire started at Triple-A Mat Company on Linden Avenue around 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
When crews arrived, they found smoke billowing from the building.
Firefighters were able to contain the fire, but the building suffered significant damage.
AAA Mat Company has been in business since 1970. The company specializes in rubber mats.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Trustees in May 2018 approved Cincinnati United Contractors to be the contractor for the $4 million project. The station has been discussed since 2006.
“It’s been years in the making,” said Trustee Shannon Hartkemeyer. “It’s been a team effort by the board, but especially by the township staff, to make this project happen.”
