At 7:17 a.m. Saturday (Nov. 23) morning, the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to the 15000 block of NE 4th Circle in east Vancouver for a house fire.
Neighbors had called 9-1-1 after seeing flames “coming from the roof” and were able to knock on the door and notify the residents, who were able to exit safely. Crews arrived within just five minutes and found smoke and flames coming out of the front of the house. Hose lines were stretched inside of the structure to extinguish the fire while crews cut holes through the roof using chain saws for ventilation. The fire, which had extended to the attic, was mostly extinguished within 10 minutes.
No injuries were reported. Two adults and two children were displaced and the American Red Cross was requested to assist them. A total of eight fire units with a total of 22 firefighters were on scene. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Vancouver Fire Marshal’s Office.
