Cincinnati firefighters worked to put out flames at a funeral home in West Price Hill Saturday morning.
A fire desk officer from District 2 told the Enquirer Saturday that the building was a complete loss due to the damages and has already been torn down.
According to a press release from the Cincinnati Fire Department, the fire took approximately two hours to get fully under control "due to the heavy fire load and several additions and enhancements to the structure."
Fire crews arrived at Meyer & Geiser Funeral home, located at 4989 Glenway Avenue, at 7:23 a.m.
Three occupants who were inside the business at the time of the fire were able to self evacuate without injuries, said CFD.
Officials said the fire was difficult to battle because of the cold and it was hard for crews to access the fire.
No injuries to fire personnel have been reported.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the CFD Investigation Unit.
The Enquirer will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
