STEVEN: HOW MUCH CAN YOU DO, DO YOU NEED A RAIN JACKET? ALLISON ROGERS WILL SHOW IF IT IS COLD ENOUGH FOR WINTRY WEATHER. ALLISON: THERE IS SOME CHANCE OF WINTRY WEATHER AND WE ARE EXPECTING TO SEE SOME RAINFALL. STILL QUIET AND DRY. NOT MUCH HAPPENING ON THE RADAR BUT WORKING UP TOWARDS THE CHICAGO AREA AND INDIANA SOME SNOW STAYING WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAKING ITS WAY SLOWLY BUT SURELY TO THE EAST. AS IT DOES THERE IS THE POTENTIAL TO SEE SOME RAIN MOVING AS FAR SOUTH AS GREATER CINCINNATI AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY. AND EVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR WINTER WEATHER WORKING ITS WAY IN, ESPECIALLY FOR COMMUNITIES NORTH OF 74 AND INDIANA. THE FURTHER NORTH YOU LIVE A BETTER CHANCE YOU HAVE OF SEEING SNOW FLURRIES MIXING IN WITH SOME OF THE RAINFALL. TEMPERATURES SITTING AROUND 42 IN CINCINNATI. CHILLY FOR SURE.

CINCINNATI — A funeral home in West Price Hill has been leveled after a fire destroyed the structure Saturday morning.

Fire crews with the Cincinnati Fire Department responded to blaze around 7 a.m. at Meyer & Geiser Funeral home on 4989 Glenway Ave. At least 65 firefighters and 15 companies responded.

According to the fire department, the fire was difficult to battle because of the cold and how difficult it was for crews to access the flames.

Tom Lakamp, operations chief with Cincinnati Fire Department, said when fire crews arrived, there was heavy fire in the back of the building.

"We tried to make an interior attack from multiple sides and just kept getting pushed out by heat,' Lakamp said.

Lakamp said that is when the fire department shifted to an defensive attack.

The owner of the funeral home and two people who lived on the second floor were inside when the fire started.

The owner said he was working when the blaze broke out.

"He did a great job of getting everybody out of the building before we arrived," Lakamp said.

No one was injured in the fire, Lakamp said.

Lakamp said the building is a complete loss. The building is expected to be torn down sometime Saturday. No neighboring properties were damaged.

The fire department is asking people to avoid the area. Fire crews had to use a lot of water to battle the blaze and that water could freeze, causing for slippery conditions.

Lakamp also said the community should reach out and support the owner of the funeral home, along with the two people who lived on the second floor.

"You know, this business owner has been in this community for a really long time," Lakamp said.

Right now, there is no word on what started the fire.

CINCINNATI — Officials with the Metropolitan Sewer District and the Cincinnati Fire Department are investigating a potential gasoline spill into the sewer system in West Price Hill, the two agencies announced over the weekend.

According to a news release, investigators believe the leak occurred on Dec. 24, potentially from a gas station. As part of the investigation, a gas station at Eighth Street and Pedretti Avenue closed and emptied its underground storage tanks.

Investigators believe as many as 360 gallons of gasoline may have entered the sewer system. CFD became aware of the potential leak after nearby residents reported odors in their homes.

MSD began flushing the sewers with water on Dec. 24 in an attempt to dilute the spill and suppress the odor.

MSD officials advised residents living on Cappel Drive and Carnation and Hermosa avenues to take the following precautions:

  • Limit ignition sources such as candles and any other flaming devices
  • Run water in basement floor drains to reduce fumes and odors in the home (for drains without traps, they should be plugged to prevent odors)
  • Crack windows in the home to reduce fumes
