In Columbia, South Dakota a house fire was reported around 8:00 on Monday morning. It belonged to Steve Wander, a volunteer firefighter who helped fight the fire. No one was home when the fire broke out on the second floor of the home and there were no injuries. Here are details from AberdeenNews.com:

Steve Wander’s home on the northwest side of Columbia at 303 N. James St. is unlivable, said Columbia Fire Chief Corey Mitchell. Firefighters were able to save the first floor and some contents, but the second floor was destroyed, he said.

Four volunteer fire departments, including Wander and his Columbia teammates; Bath; Aberdeen Rural and Groton, fought the fire in temperatures in the high 20s with 20-mph winds.
