CLEVELAND (WJW) — An early Friday house fire in Cleveland completely destroyed one home and spread to another.

The fire broke out about 7:15 a.m. in the 1400 block of East 114th Street, officials told FOX 8’s Jessica Dill.

FOX 8’s Patty Harken, who was in SkyFOX surveying the scene, reported the flames were “dangerously close” to a fourplex located on the other side of the initial burning home.

That house suffered significant damage to one side. The owner said whatever the firefighters are being paid is “worth it.”

“They did a great job as far as I’m concerned. That house went up so fast. I’m just glad nobody was hurt,” said Carmen Marshall.
