Kitchen fire in Columbia

A major fire was adverted today in the East end of Columbia.
With firemen from the Susquehanna Fire Company on stand by at their fire station because of a major fire in Rapho Township, they were able to respond quickly late this morning to a structure fire a block from their station.
Crews from all three Columbia fire companies, along with Wrightsville and Maytown-East Donegal were called to a fire at Plane and Manor streets shortly before noon.
When the first crew from the Susquehanna arrived, a kitchen fire was found and quickly put out. Had the firemen not been on stand by at their station, several houses could have been damaged  by the blaze.
No damage estimate was available.
