There were two people that were treated and released on scene by Vancouver Fire Department paramedics
A family was displaced by a fire Monday (June 6) evening in Vancouver.
Shortly after 7 p.m., nine units from the Vancouver Fire Department were dispatched to a fire in the bedroom of a two-unit duplex. Crews from the closest fire station arrived within three minutes of dispatch and found smoke and fire coming from the back side of one of the units. Crews pulled a hose line to attack the fire and keep it from spreading into the adjacent unit.
Additional crews arrived and went inside to search for victims and check for any extension of fire. The fire was declared under control in less than 20 minutes. There were two people that were treated and released on scene by Vancouver Fire Department paramedics.
The fire is under investigation by the fire marshal’s office. The family was displaced by the fire and the Red Cross is assisting them with temporary housing.
Vancouver Fire would like to remind the members of our community to never enter a building that is on fire, you can easily become disorientated in the smoke, and can be deadly if inhaled.
