Many callers reported the fire due to its direct view from Padden Parkway during the morning commute
Friday (Nov. 21) at 6:46 a.m., the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to 8300 NE 137th Ave. for a commercial structure fire. Many callers reported the fire due to its direct view from Padden Parkway during the morning commute.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a large drop box style dumpster on fire up against the loading docks. Fire crews quickly started attacking the fire and forced entry into the building.
Fortunately, fire had not extended into the structure and resulted in only exterior damage with light smoke on the interior. The Clark County Fire Marshals office is investigating.
