3 Dead, 8 Hospitalized After Flames Tear Through Apartment Building

Battalion Chief Jeffrey Geitter informed news outlet The Dispatch that the blaze was ignited by an unspecified electrical problem. Investigators have not yet determined what the electrical issue was, which was deemed accidental.

According to WCMH Columbus, the three deceased victims were identified as 31-year-old Souria Bekka, 42-year-old Margarate Baker, and 33-year-old Nour-ddine Bouchkara.

The Red Cross is assisting more than 30 displaced residents after the fire destroyed all 39 units, forcing everyone from the building out. Many residents remain unable to return for belongings and are staying at an emergency shelter.

All units in the building were affected and the Red Cross has opened a shelter to assist displaced residents. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

About 100 firefighters responded as residents were forced to escape through heavy smoke, with some climbing out of windows to get to safety.

The fire broke out in a 39-unit, three-story apartment building and is believed to have started on the first floor, allowing smoke to quickly spread upward.

Officials confirm three people have died and 11 were taken to hospitals, with eight remaining hospitalized and some in critical condition.

A 911 caller has reported an unconfirmed incident at 200 Broad Meadows Blvd.
