A home in Columbia was heavily damaged by fire Thursday morning. The blaze on River Road was reported around 10 a.m.
Volunteer firefighters from Columbia, Webb and Haleburg responded. They found the second floor of the two-story structure engulfed in flames. No one was in the home at the time of the fire and no one was injured.
