The studios of iHeartRadio Dayton were damaged when fire broke out in a residential unit on the third floor of the Dayton Arcade.
According to the Dayton Daily News, the fire was isolated to the third floor, with businesses located below sustaining water damage.
Jeff Stevens, iHeartMedia Dayton SVP/Programming and Mix 107.7 morning host, said shortly after hearing the fire alarm, the water began to appear. “Not 30 seconds later, I hear ‘drip, drip, drip’ over in the corner. Ten 10 seconds later, water is streaming down our windows on the outside, facing Fourth Street. just gushing. I said, ‘OK, that’s definitely not good.’ I ran back into the studio, and literally, it looks like a tropical forest on top of our control board, just pouring rain.”
