VANCOUVER — At about 3 a.m. Thursday morning, members of the Vancouver Fire Department responded to a call at 4297 SE 192nd Ave. in Vancouver for the report of a person stuck on a cliff about 35 feet above the ground.

According to a news release from the Vancouver Fire Department, Engine 9 and crew members arrived to find a teen male uninjured on the cliff. Crew members reported that the teen was unwilling to move any farther.
