A fire in a vacant home in the 3000 block of North Marr Road caused about $100,000 in damage, Columbus firefighters said.
Firefighters were sent to 3035 N. Marr Road at about 3:24 p.m. Saturday after a passer-by saw fire coming from the back of the single-story stone home and called 911, said Capt. Mike Wilson, Columbus Fire Department spokesman.
Firefighters initially used water through a window to reduce the interior fire and then went through a rear door to completely extinguish the fire at the home, which was being restored, Wilson said.
Damage to the interior included the basement staircase, utilities room and kitchen, Wilson said.

There also was damage to roof joists and decking at the rear of the home.
The owner, Elizabeth Rivera, told firefighters the home-restoration project had been nearly complete before the fire occurred.
