Columbia Fire investigators have determined the origin of the fire was
in the sun porch at the rear of the home. The cause remains

The Columbia Fire Department wants to remind residents that working
smoke alarms do save lives. Test your smoke alarms at least once a month
by pressing the test button. Replace smoke alarm batteries at least once
a year. Replace smoke alarms every 10 years. To ensure adequate
protection, place smoke alarms in every sleeping room, and in a common
area on every floor. If you can not afford a smoke alarm, call the
Columbia Fire Department at 573-874-7556 to schedule an appointment to
have free smoke alarms installed. For residences who need assistance in
checking their smoke alarms, they can also contact the Columbia Fire
