This was the scene Monday night/Tuesday morning when our 2nd Shift crews responded to a working structure fire at a commercial property on the 6400 block of Fairfield Road.
The first units arrived on scene shortly after 9:30 p.m. Heavy white smoke could be seen pushing from the eaves of the building.
Crews forced entry into the building and they were able to bring the fire under control. There was nobody found inside the building and no injuries.
The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Richland County Fire Marshal’s Office. #fire #firefighting #columbia #columbiasc #SCFire #iaff
The Columbia Firefighters Association would like to share a fundraiser for a Columbia Fire Captain’s family organizer by Aimee Oswalt Crosby on behalf of Captain Hall’s family.
“This is Jennifer Hall and her sweet family. Her and her husband Mitch have been married since 2009 and have 2 precious daughters, Tyndall and Bentlee. Both Jennifer and Mitch are lifelong residents of Pelion and Jennifer has spent the last 16 years of her career as a math teacher at their alma mater, Pelion High School. Mitch is career Firefighter and currently serves as a Captain at the City of Columbia Fire Department. Jennifer was recently diagnosed with stage 4 peritoneal cancer. This means the cancer is in her stomach lining but it has also spread to her female organs. She does not have any tumors that can be removed so surgery will not be beneficial at this point. She started chemo today but this is just step one of an extremely long process. Her first round of chemo consist of 6 treatments (1 every 3 weeks). After the completed first round, her Oncologist will re-evaluate and see if more chemo is needed or what the next step will be. Since she is not a surgical candidate, it is most likely that she will always be on some kind of maintenance dose. On top of the chemo, the cancer is causing her body to produce excess fluid which is settling in her lungs and abdomen. She will have to regularly go in to it drained, as all this extra fluid causes breathing and mobility issues. I am starting this fundraiser for her family as a way to help them out and offset some of their financial burden. We all know how expensive cancer treatments and medication can be and even with good insurance, there are things not covered. Not to mention the time her and Mitch will both be missing from work.
If you feel led to donate, please do. If you can't, please share. Every donation and share will be a step to help to lighten their financial burden. 100% of the money raised will be given to Jennifer and Mitch.”
Captain your fellow brothers and sister at the CRFD are praying for you, your wife, and the rest of your family.
