MASSILLON, Ohio --
Historic buildings in Massillon are in danger of collapsing after a massive fire along a city block.
The fire started in a downtown gallery about 5 p.m. Sunday on Lincoln Way.
It quickly spread to adjoining buildings.
Firefighters were injured during the fire as they tried to enter a building.
The gallery owners live in an apartment above the business.
A witness said he was enjoying Easter dinner when smoke started coming from the bathroom.
The building was fully engulfed the building within moments.
"My wife and I have been building this business for 11 years now so to see it go up in just a couple if hours is really hard."
One firefighter was taken to the hospital. Others were treated for smoke inhalation.
