COLUMBUS, OHIO — Firefighters have put out a fire that burned for several hours and destroyed a block of buildings in downtown Columbus, Ohio.
Fire Battalion Chief Doug Smith said winds helped spread the blaze today. Between 13 and 17 businesses, including a restaurant and a candle shop, were blackened.
At least 100 firefighters were rotated in and out of frigid weather to fight the blaze. The National Weather Service said temperatures were in the teens with about 18 mph winds.
Smith said crews were “battling the elements.”
The only injury reported was a firefighter being treated for facial burns.
