An exhaust fan at Hagemeyer, 950 16th St., caught fire this afternoon, causing a blaze that sent employees into the afternoon heat.

No one was hurt in the fire, Battalion Chief Keith Watson said.

Columbus Fire & EMS got the call around 3 p.m. According to Watson, an exhaust fan overheated, caught fire and then caught fire to nearby boxes.

The sprinkler system kept the fire at bay until firefighters arrived.

�We put the fire out the rest of the way,� Watson said.

What remained was to remove the smoke from the building, which Watson said would take until 4 p.m.

�We should have them back in business in an hour,� he said.
