YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – A neighbor may lose his house after the massive fire Tuesday on Broadway Avenue.

Firefighters fought to keep the surrounding houses from catching fire, but the home on 206 Broadway Ave. caught fire in the roof. Firefighters had to climb up to the roof and punch holes in the roof to get at the fire.
