One person was taken to a hospital after an apartment fire in Columbia on Thursday.
A Columbia Fire Department spokeswoman said 18 fire personnel were sent to the scene in the 2400 block of Whitegate Drive. The cause of the fire was under investigation, spokeswoman Skyler Clark said.
The call came in at 1:47 p.m., and firefighters had the blaze under control about 10 minutes after that, Clark said.
Clark confirmed that emergency radio traffic said a person escaped by jumping from a second-story window, but she didn’t have other details.
