At 5:12 p.m. Saturday (Jan. 9), the Vancouver Fire Department responded to the report of a fire at 11301 SE 10th St. in Vancouver. Firefighters responded and arrived at the three-story apartment building with a fire in the middle apartment. Some residents were alerted to danger from functional smoke detectors.
