NORTH ROYALTON, Ohio - A house fire in North Royalton caused a major roadway to be closed at rush hour Wednesday.
The fire broke out just before 4 p.m. on Royalton Road (Route 82), just east of State Road.
According to the North Royalton Fire Department, the homeowner and a dog got out safely. The homeowner said she saw sparks in the basement and called 911.
