🔥 Smoke signals

Cuyahoga County • September 23, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Black smoke billowing over Cleveland's west side has emergency crews on high alert as a massive industrial fire threatens propane storage facilities on Bradley Road. The dangerous three-alarm blaze, which erupted Wednesday afternoon, serves as a stark reminder of the critical work our first responders perform daily. Meanwhile, Northeast Ohio travelers can mark their calendars for May 2026, when Air Canada launches daily nonstop service to Montreal—opening a gateway not just to Quebec's cultural capital but to dozens of European and North African destinations.

Amid these developments, Cleveland's legal landscape prepares for transition as Tucker Ellis announces James Mizgala will take the helm as managing partner beginning January 2026. The downtown firm, headquartered in the Ernst & Young Tower, continues to represent a cornerstone of the city's professional services sector—further cementing Cleveland's reputation as both an international hub and a center for legal excellence.
