COLUMBUS, Ohio – A house fire caused by a turkey fryer ripped through a home in east Columbus.
NBC 4 gives you the FAST FACTS.
Columbus Fire personnel were called to a home on the 500 block of S. Hampton Road at noon on Thanksgiving when a Columbus Police officer noticed the back of the home on fire.
Fire crews were able to contain the blaze in about 15 minutes, but the fire had already ripped through most of the home and destroyed a pickup truck.
The homeowner told NBC 4 oil was heating in the fryer, which was placed at the back of the house, when the fryer fell over from the wind.
