The Columbia Fire Department confirmed in a Thursday social media post that Tuesday’s fire at the new McDonald’s on Providence Road in Columbia was caused by “improperly discarded smoking materials.”
The fire at 200 South Providence Road led to two firefighters needing to be treated for heat-related illness.
Providence Road was shut down in the area while first responders worked. The fire at the building went from the main floor into the attic.
No one who was in the building when the fire started was injured, officials said in previous reporting. The restaurant is still closed.
