A church is helping the families who have been displaced from their homes after a deadly fire on South Second Street.
The Columbia community responded quickly after Columbia Presbyterian Church posted on Facebook saying it was collecting donations for the families.
The Pastor, Dave Powers said, “We asked for some household goods, particularly blankets, backpacks and again clothes.”
The donations will help two families, the family who lost loved ones, 20-year-old Cami Combs and 2-year-old Callie Flowers, and the family who lived in the home next to where the fire started.

On 01-05-2020 at approx. 0254 hrs. the Columbia Borough Police were called to the Turkey Hill at 342 Chestnut St. for a robbery that just occurred. Police were advised that a black male, approx. 5’7″, wearing a blue and black plaid styled jacket, gray sweat pants, black shoes/sneakers and a wig entered the store and stole items. The male did have a knife and struck the clerk, knocking her to the floor. The male then fled on foot towards the area of 4th and Chestnut St.
If any residents in the 100 blk. and 200 blk. of N. 4th St. have cameras outside we ask if you could review any footage close to the time of the incident to see if the suspect was in the area. If we receive better photographs of the suspect we will update this post.
