Wind a Factor in Columbus (OH) Apartment Fire

From The Columbus Disptach:
A raging, windblown fire heavily damaged a building with eight apartment units on the Far West Side yesterday afternoon.

Columbus firefighters were called at 4:52 p.m. to the Hilliard Park apartment complex off Roberts Road west of Walcutt Road. The building on fire included odd-numbered apartments in the 2460 block of Hilliard Park Boulevard.

"When they got here, they had heavy fire," said Battalion Chief David Whiting of the Columbus Division of Fire.

No one was hurt.

Wind complicated fighting the fire, which took about 45 minutes to bring under control. Whiting estimated that winds gusted to 30 mph.
