YOUNGSTOWN — When firefighters arrived at a 9:22 a.m. possible structure fire Thursday at 1122 Burlington St. on the North Side, the fire was already out, according to a Youngstown Fire Department report.

There also was no smoke showing, the report states. The report does not say how or why the fire stopped, but Fire Chief Barry Finley said Monday it appears the fire “just burned itself out.” Firefighters did “ventilate” the structure, the report states.

A family member of the occupant of the apartment opened the front door to allow firefighters to enter. Firefighters discovered the fire was out, but there was “a possible victim,” the report states.

Additional firefighters entered the home, “where discovery was made of a kitchen fire that was out upon arrival,” the report states. “A deceased male was found lying (on his back) in the kitchen area close to the rear door,” it states.

“The fire appears to have begun on or near the stove / oven in the kitchen,” the report adds. “Pots on stove with fire damage, cabinets above partially burned. Heat and smoke through the entire small apartment. No other issues or signs of fire were found.”

The Youngstown Police Department, which was at the scene, notified the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office, it adds. An ambulance supervisor confirmed that the man had died.

The Ohio State Fire Marshal’s Office and the fire department’s investigator, Charles Hodge, were at the scene, the report notes. The Mahoning County Coroner’s office on Friday identified the victim as Jesse Dandridge, 42.

The fire report indicates that the area of origin was the cooking area in the kitchen and that the “cause of the ignition” of the fire is “under investigation.” The items first ignited is listed as “undetermined.”

Youngstown had another fatal fire in January. Amir Harrison, 5, died in a fire at 127 N. Maryland Avenue on the West Side Jan. 26.

That fire was reported at 5:58 a.m. and did considerable damage to the two-story home, forcing the boy’s mother to jump to the ground from a second-floor porch, causing injuries.

Five of her children escaped the fire, but Amir hid in a closet and was found by firefighters, Youngstown Fire Chief Barry Finley said during a press conference.

Finley warned people against using space heaters as the sole source of heat, as the family in this case did, because of the potential that such heaters could overheat a circuit, resulting in fire.
