An electrical fire damaged a Columbus home Sunday afternoon.

The resident had just finished baking a cake when she noticed flames coming from behind the stove at about 3:55 p.m. Sunday in the 500 block of Gladstone Avenue. Firefighters extinguished the fire and it immediately reignited, leading firefighters to believe it might be electrical.

They shut off power to the home and were able to quickly put the fire out, says Capt. Mike Wilson, spokesman for the fire department.

When officers went to the basement they found charred flooring and evidence that a short had caused the fire. Damage was estimated at $5,000.

Wilson said the home did have smoke alarms, but they did not sound because they were more than 10 years old. Firefighters installed three new alarms in the home.

Two adults and an 11-year-old escaped from the fire unharmed.
