HOUSE FIRE IN COLUMBIA
Home damaged in Monday blaze

A lighted upstairs Christmas tree may be to blame for a fire that damaged the home of Gail Morrow at 421 N. Kaempfe Street in Columbia around 5 p.m. Monday.

Columbia firemen battled the flames and smoke to keep the fire contained to the home's interior. No injuries were reported in the blaze, although the family was not sure if its cat survived.

"She just walked upstairs and the tree was on fire," Gail's mother, who lives next door at 429 N. Kaempfe, said of her daughter at the scene.

Read Wednesday's Republic-Times for more on this story.
