Aggressive suppression efforts began with forcing open nearly all storage units, removing storage unit items when necessary and extinguishing the fire
At 9:10 a.m. on Monday (Feb. 10), Vancouver Fire was dispatched to the report of a commercial structure fire at Additional Self Storage, located at 11000 NE Burton Rd in Vancouver.
Vancouver Fire responded with 16 units and approximately 40 firefighters with command staff. The first unit arrived just five minutes later to find one of the buildings on fire with heavy smoke coming from several storage units. Aggressive suppression efforts began with forcing open nearly all storage units, removing storage unit items when necessary and extinguishing the fire.
It took nearly 50 minutes to bring the fire under control while crews made efforts to save and preserve the personal items in the affected units. The Vancouver Fire Marshal’s office was on scene to investigate.
