WEST CARROLLTON, Ohio (WKEF/WRGT) - 


An elderly woman's air conditioning unit reportedly sparked a fire inside her trailer on Airstream Drive June 1.

Captain Adam Blake with the West Carrollton Fire Department said she had gotten too hot inside and plugged in her a/c unit, but it appeared there was an issue with either the unit or the wiring.

The woman had been able to get outside just before fire crews got to the scene, but was taken to the hospital to be checked out.

Firefighters did find a fire right inside the front door and were able to knock it down once they got there, but there reportedly was significant damage done to the structure.
