The fire, which reportedly started in a back storage area of the building, is now under control. No injuries or fatalities have been reported. The fire caused significant damage, and authorities estimate the loss at approximately $300,000. The building is currently being considered for rezoning for recreational use, such as pickleball.
NEWS
On Thursday afternoon, January 18, 2025, a fire broke out at a vacant four-story warehouse located at 1641 3rd Avenue, Columbus. The fire reportedly began in the back storage area of the building. Columbus Fire & EMS responded quickly to the scene, and the fire was brought under control by the fire department. Thankfully, no injuries or fatalities were reported, and the incident was contained to the building itself.
The building in question is currently vacant and is in the process of being rezoned for potential recreational use, specifically for activities such as pickleball, as indicated by a sign posted outside. Despite the building being vacant, the fire caused considerable damage, and officials estimate the total losses to be around $300,000. Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, but as of Thursday afternoon, the exact origin remains unclear.
This fire underscores the importance of early fire detection, particularly in vacant buildings and industrial areas. A rapid response can help minimize the damage, and early detection systems like thermal imaging cameras are crucial in identifying heat anomalies before a fire fully ignites.
Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras provide real-time monitoring of abnormal temperature conditions, enabling quicker intervention and reducing the risk of extensive damage. Early detection could have helped prevent the large-scale losses at the 3rd Avenue warehouse.

Scalable Solutions for Early Fire Detection
For early fire detection, Planck Vision TNC thermal imaging cameras are far superior to traditional systems that can alert to fire only after the visible consequences of smoke and flame are present. TNC cameras can help to prevent the destruction of goods and loss of life by surveilling for abnormal heat conditions before fires erupt.
