Crews battle West Columbus apartment fire

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Columbus Fire crews were on the scene of a three alarm fire at a three-story apartment building in west Columbus on Trade Winds Dr. Sunday morning.

Columbus Fire Chief Steve Martin said that crews arrived at the scene at 6:55 a.m.

Martin said there were no injuries and that the fire started on the third-floor of the apartment building.

The fire was accidental with the cause determined to be electrical wiring that was running through void spaces of the ceiling on the second-level and the floor on the third-level, per Chief Martin.

Martin added that due to the size of the apartment building, additional people were needed which is why it went to a third alarm.

Crews fought the fire for about an hour, per Chief Martin.
