Firefighters respond to evening fire

COLUMBIA, MO (October 26, 2008) - Columbia firefighters were called at
6:43 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 26, to 3615 Monterey for a report of a
residential structure fire. 

Firefighters arrived to find light smoke coming from the home. The
occupants of the home were at home at the time of the fire. Preliminary
reports indicate that the fire began in the kitchen. One occupant
suffered very minor burn injuries to one hand, was treated by
firefighters and paramedics on scene but refused additional medical
treatment. 

Firefighters knocked down a small fire in less than five minutes.

Fire investigators are now on scene to determine the origin and cause
of the fire. No damages estimates are available at this moment. 

We will issue a follow-up release with the cause and origin information
and any additional patient information as soon as it becomes available.
