COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Friday night house fire in south Columbia was determined to be accidental.
Columbia Fire Department spokeswoman Skyler Clark told an ABC 17 News reporter on Monday that the fire was accidental.
CFD wrote in a Saturday post that crews were called to the 200 block of West Old Plank Road for a report of a house fire.
Crews found heavy flames and “dense smoke” in the garage and the fire went into the home’s attic, the release says. It took about 20 minutes for the fire to be put out.
No injuries were reported and firefighters saved four kittens from the basement of the home, the release says.
Significant damage was seen in the garage and siding when an ABC 17 News reporter was at the scene.
