🎧 Vancouver Fire Stops Outbuilding Blaze, Saves Home
Damage to nearby home prevented
At approximately 7 p.m. Friday (May 29) evening, Vancouver Fire responded to reports of an outbuilding fire at 16603 SE Fisher Drive. The first-arriving engine found three small outbuildings fully engulfed in flames.
Fire crews quickly initiated an aggressive fire attack and successfully extinguished the fire, preventing it from extending to a nearby residence. Due to the rapid response and coordinated efforts of firefighters, the fire was contained to the three outbuildings.
A total of four engines, two truck companies, one squad, one battalion chief, and an AMR medic unit responded to the incident.
No civilians, firefighters, or pets were injured during the incident. Additionally, no residents were displaced as a result of the fire.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation and will be determined by the Vancouver Fire Marshal’s Office.
Vancouver Fire encourages residents to remain vigilant about fire safety around their homes. Remember to regularly test smoke alarms, replace alarms that have reached their expiration date, and keep yards and outdoor areas free of debris and combustible materials that can contribute to fire spread.
