Three fatal fires killed six people in 24 hours in Ohio. That’s the most one state fire official said he has ever seen happen at once.

In Bucyrus, a mobile home burned, killing three people early Friday morning. In Zanesville, two died in a house fire early Thursday. Another house fire early Friday in Butler County killed one person.

These six deaths mean 137 people have died this year in fires. In 2009 a total of 153 were killed, and 188 died in 2008.
