Vancouver Fire Department units responded to a structure fire at 10008 NE 53rd Ave. just after 8 a.m. Thursday (Oct. 23) morning. Several callers stated they heard explosions followed by large amounts of black smoke and flames.
First-arriving crews found heavy fire involvement in the garage and rooms above it as well as two vehicles parked in the driveway. Firefighters began extinguishing the wall of flames from the exterior prior to moving inside to search the two-story home and continue fire suppression.
Two residents were displaced following the event. No human or pet lives were lost or injured.
Six Vancouver Fire companies were also assisted by Fire District 6. Clark Country Fire Marshals are investigating the cause.
