Firefighters used chain saws to cut away roofing material to ensure the fire was extinguished
The Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to a fire alarm at 4808 NW Fruit Valley Rd in Vancouver just before 5 a.m. Monday (Oct. 20) morning.
This incident was upgraded to a full commercial structure response after someone called 9-1-1 stating there might be a small fire on the roof of the building. First-arriving crews made access to the roof and found a small fire that was mostly extinguished.
Firefighters used chain saws to cut away roofing material to ensure the fire was extinguished. Most of the units were cleared without assignment. No injuries were reported.
The business remains open and in full operation. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Vancouver Fire Marshal’s Office.
