UPDATE: Conneaut Lake Park area fire ruled accidental

CONNEAUT LAKE — UPDATE: State police have ruled this fire at 10581 Woodland Ave. accidental due to an electrical problem.

At least six Conneaut Lake area fire companies were responding to another fire in the vicinity of Conneaut Lake Park late Wednesday night.

A structure was termed as “involved,” according to an emergency radio transmission about 11:15.

There have been four other nighttime fires of abandoned structures in the park area in the past three weeks. That string of fires of undetermined causes has produced concern among residents, firefighters and police in the area, and investigations are under way.

Wednesday’s fire was reported on Woodland Avenue, but the type of structure or other information was not immediately available.
