No one was hurt, but an onlooker said some cats were rescued from a fire at a north Columbia apartment building Friday.
Firefighters found a small fire in an empty apartment in the 2900 block of Northland Drive a little before 11 a.m. Friday, according to a Columbia Fire Department news release. The fire was quickly put out and the damage was limited to the apartment.
Residents got out before firefighters arrived thanks to smoke alarms, the release says. Six companies with 18 firefighters responded.
The cause was accidental from combustible items on a stove that was accidentally turned on, the release says.
An onlooker said firefighters pulled two cats from the building before ABC 17 News arrived.
