As firefighters worked to get to the roof of the arena, construction workers on site successfully used fire extinguishers to put out the flames.
“It was an isolated, small fire that was knocked down quickly”, said Jeff Payne, Dayton Fire Chief.
Officials say a preliminary investigation reveals that the temperature difference in the steel from structural work being done on the roof may have ignited the roofing material.
There were no injuries, and the confirmed cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The fire is not considered suspicious, officials say.
