A fire department in northern Kentucky has suspended a firefighter and an Explorer cadet after a fire that destroyed a vacant building and sent a firefighter to a hospital.

Southgate Fire Chief John Beatsch said no charges have been filed, but he told The Kentucky Enquirer the two will be dismissed from the department if it can be proved they set the blaze.

Their names were not released.

The building had no value and was being used by the department for training.

Firefighter Michael Rath was treated at a hospital for heat exhaustion after the building went up in flames early Tuesday.

Tributes from political allies and even one-time enemies came pouring in for Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, a trailblazer whose energy and outspokenness made her one of Congress' most dynamic leaders.

Tubbs Jones, the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress, died Wednesday evening after suffering a brain hemorrhage. She was 58.

"She poured her heart and soul into her job," said U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. "She worked so hard and gave everything she could. I'm devastated. Wherever we'd go, we'd speak of each other as brother and sister. It's an incalculable loss."

Tubbs Jones represented Ohio's heavily Democratic 11th District for five terms. She was the first black woman to serve on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee and the first to serve as a common pleas judge in Ohio.

The congresswoman suffered the hemorrhage while driving her car in suburban Cleveland Heights on Tuesday night. She had been driving erratically and her vehicle crossed lanes of traffic before coming to a stop, police said. An officer found her.
