Two residents and a dog were able to escape safely and there were no reports of injuries
Vancouver Firefighters responded to an early morning house fire Wednesday in Vancouver’s Heights neighborhood.
Firefighters were dispatched just after 3 a.m. to the 3400 block of McLoughlin Blvd. and arrived within five minutes to find fire coming from a window in the 960 square-foot-single-story home. Hose lines were extended to get water on the fire from the outside as they waited for more resources.
Once more fire units arrived on scene firefighters made their way inside the home to fully extinguish the fire. McLoughlin Blvd. was temporarily closed to traffic. In total, four fire engines, a ladder truck and two battalion chiefs operated on the fire scene with a total of 19 firefighters.
Two residents and a dog were able to escape safely and there were no reports of injuries. The American Red Cross is assisting the residents and the Vancouver Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
