🎧 Vancouver garage fire displaces family, pets on McGillivray
The fire was successfully stopped before it could extend into the main living areas of the home
VANCOUVER — At 1:51 p.m. Saturday (April 25), the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to a reported garage fire at 12010 SE McGillivray Blvd. The first arriving engine reached the scene in just three minutes and 30 seconds, where crews encountered active fire in both the garage and attic space of the home.
Firefighters acted quickly to ensure all occupants had safely evacuated the residence while simultaneously working to contain the fire and prevent its spread. Due to the rapid response and coordinated efforts of crews on scene, the fire was successfully stopped before it could extend into the main living areas of the home.
In addition to fire suppression efforts, crews assisted residents by removing personal belongings from the home both during and after the incident, helping to preserve valuable and sentimental items.
No injuries were reported as a result of the fire.
The American Red Cross was contacted to assist the displaced occupants, which include five adults, four cats, and one dog.
