Crews evacuate apartment complex after report of fire

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) – It’s a night interrupted at an apartment complex in the heart of Downtown Columbia. Crews responded to reports of a fire at The Hub in the 1400 block of Main Street. A lot of USC college students are known to stay there. A spokesperson for the Columbia Fire Department says crews did put out a fire in one of the units shortly after arriving on the scene around 1am Monday, and they did have to evacuate floors 17, 18 and 19 until they could get the smoke out. That lasted about a half hour. We’re still waiting for word on a cause and damage.
