Two people and two dogs were able to safely evacuate and declined any medical evaluation, treatment, or transport
At 9:05 a.m. on Tuesday (June 24), the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to 14000 SE Cascade Park Drive in Vancouver for the report of an apartment fire.
Vancouver Fire responded, arriving just six minutes after dispatch at 9:11 a.m. to find fire coming from a room on the second floor. A second alarm was requested to make sure all of the resources were available as needed.
The fire was extinguished and the building was searched by 9:23 a.m. Two people and two dogs were able to safely evacuate and declined any medical evaluation, treatment, or transport.
With the fire extinguished, the second alarm was recalled, and salvage operations began. The Vancouver Fire Department had approximately 24 personnel on scene actively engaged in firefighting efforts, including one fire engine from the Camas Fire Department. The Vancouver Fire Marshal’s office was on scene investigating.
The Vancouver Fire Department would like to remind everyone that in case of a fire, get out and stay out, and call 9-1-1 from a safe location. Remember to crawl low under smoke and know two ways out of every room.
