Columbus firefighters battled a blaze in a vacant rental home on California Street Friday night.

Capt. Mike Wilson, spokesman for the fire department, says that neighbors began calling in about flames at the home in the 1800 block of California Street at about 10:43 p.m. Friday night. Firefighters discovered heavy smoke and could see flames inside the home, Wilson says.

Firefighters fought their way inside and soon got the fire under control after it spread to the attic, Wilson says.

Wilson says the home suffered about $50,000 in damage. They don’t yet know the cause of the fire.
