Fire crews responded to a multi-house fire on the 50 block of Warder Street early Thursday morning around 3:24 a.m.—embers from a burning two-story brick home set a nearby occupied house ablaze, forcing an evacuation with no injuries as two firefighters were evaluated and one was taken to a hospital amid windy conditions.

The related measure will add $30 million for new child wellness campuses and $100 million to support public children’s services.

Ohio lawmakers have proposed work requirements for Medicaid expansion that could cut coverage for about 61,000 Ohioans by 2026 if federal funding falls below 90%—a change that critics say may risk access to essential care and add financial strain on vulnerable families.
