Five residents lose home to Vancouver blaze contained by crews

Vancouver Fire Department units responded to a house fire at 2406-N-E-166th Court just

after 6 p.m. Tuesday evening, March 24.

First arriving units found a two-story home with a living room fire, which crews aggressively

extinguished, preventing it from spreading.

However, thick smoke filled the rest of the home, displacing five residents.

No injuries were reported.

Vancouver Fire Department officials remind residents that working smoke detectors save

lives and suggest checking them yearly, information provided by the Vancouver Fire Department.
