FRANKLIN, Ohio — When Franklin fire Lt. Kyle Lovelace saw the smoke coming out of Smith’s PH Bistro in Franklin on Monday morning, he quickly could see where not to send his firefighters.
“Reading signs, kept them from going upstairs,” he said. That turned out to be a wise move when an apparent backdraft rushed through the building, sending fire and smoke flying out of the building and into the firefighters inside the front door, Quincy Pearson and Brad Brown.
"(Pearson) felt the heat change on his body through the turnout gear. He felt the heat change and he saw the black smoke press down onto the floor, so he seen those warning signs of a blast and ordered us out,” Lovelace said.
