Columbus firefighters say that a home on Sixth Street was a complete loss after a Friday evening fire.

Fire Inspector Matt Noblitt says that passersby noticed fire coming out the window and up the side of the home in the 2100 block of Sixth Street at about 8:15 Friday evening.

The tenant of the rental home was not home at the time of the fire. Noblitt said that firefighters initially thought a dog might be inside the residence, but none was discovered. The fire is believed to have started near the corner of the bedroom, beside the chimney but no cause has yet been determined.

Noblitt said the home was a total loss. He estimated the damages at more than $100,000 including contents. No one was injured.
