After conducting an investigation, Columbia Fire officials determined that the cause of the fire was accidental. It was caused by grease on a burner while cooking.
In light of this incident, the Columbia Fire Department would like to remind residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms in their homes. These devices can save lives and should be placed on every level of a home and outside sleeping areas. It is also crucial to check smoke alarms monthly and change their batteries at least twice a year when adjusting clocks for Daylight Saving Time. Smoke alarms over 10 years old should be replaced.
The Columbia Fire Department urges all residents to take these precautions seriously to prevent future incidents like this one from occurring.
