All occupants were able to get out of the house safely and there are no injuries to report
The Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched Thursday (Feb. 23) at about 1:30 p.m. to a report of a house fire at 6111 NE 41st Circle. Four fire engines, a ladder truck and a battalion chief responded to the scene.
The battalion chief arrived to find a single-story house with dark black smoke pouring from the front door. The first arriving fire engines were assigned to pull a line and go inside the house to extinguish the fire and search for occupants.
The fire crews quickly made entry and extinguished the fire, searched for occupants, and checked that the fire did not spread to other parts of the house. All occupants were able to get out of the house safely and there are no injuries to report. The house did have working smoke detectors which contributed to the safe exit of the homeowners.
The Clark County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
