Fire closes north Columbia street

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A house fire in north Columbia led police to shut down a city street Friday.

The fire on Newton Drive was called out at about 10 a.m., according to a Columbia Fire Department spokesperson. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the fire -- the spokesperson said the fire marshal was at the scene investigating on Friday morning.

No serious injuries were reported, but medics evaluated a woman who had been inside the house and took her to a hospital.

Leslie Lane was closed between Providence Road and Garth Avenue during the response, according to an alert sent by dispatchers.
