Tomorrow night, we are kicking off our campaign in support of Proposition 1.

Proposition 1 is about investing in public safety. This initiative represents a long-term investment in the safety, preparedness, and quality of life of our community. By providing dedicated funding for police and fire services, Proposition 1 will help ensure Columbia can continue to meet the needs of a growing city while maintaining the high level of service our residents expect and deserve.

Whether you already support Proposition 1 or simply want to learn more, we invite you to join us. This is a great opportunity to meet local Fire Fighters, ask questions, and have an open conversation about what this initiative means for our community.

We'll have burgers and hot dogs available while supplies last, and families are welcome. Free-will donations will be accepted to help support our educational campaign efforts.

We hope to see you there as we work together to build a safer Columbia.

At 7:13 p.m. Tuesday, May 26, Columbia Fire Department (CFD) companies were dispatched to a commercial structure fire in the 1600 block of Amelia Street.

CFD companies arrived within three minutes of initial dispatch to find smoke showing from the second story of a two-story apartment complex.

While residents of the complex were evacuating, firefighters entered the structure to simultaneously search for potential residents and begin the fire attack. The flames were contained to the room of origin and firefighters had the fire safely under control within approximately 12 minutes of arrival.

There were no occupants inside the unit at the time of the incident and there were no reported injuries.

A total of five fire companies, two chief officers, one safety captain and one fire marshal with 20 personnel responded to the scene.

The Columbia Fire Marshals Battalion has conducted an investigation into the origin and cause of the fire and determined the fire to be caused by improperly discarded smoking materials.

Big news, Columbia - Quint 10 is officially in service!

We're so excited to see Quint 10's crews in action!
