The impacted unit involved had no one inside at the time of the accident
At 1:32 Tuesday (March 11), four Vancouver Fire Department units were dispatched for a vehicle into a building at 3303 NE Minnehaha St in Vancouver.
The first unit to arrive was a Vancouver battalion chief, who found that the occupant had already exited the vehicle and was uninjured. At that point, the priorities were to ensure there was no structural instability and to isolate any natural gas and electricity to the affected unit. The unit involved had no one inside at the time of the accident.
The incident is under investigation by Vancouver Police Department
