One adult male was found deceased in the structure during a search
At 1:36 a.m. Saturday (Dec. 7), the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to the report of a house fire at 3218 NE May St. in Vancouver. Vancouver Fire responded with 24 firefighters on nine apparatus and arrived to find a one-story house with fire coming from multiple sides.
A downed power line prevented fire units from parking in front of the house and created an electrical hazard for responders. Initial crews attacked the fire aggressively from multiple hose lines.
