The first-arriving fire engine found fire through the roof of the two-story structure
On Sunday (Oct. 20) at 5:31 p.m. Vancouver Fire Department units responded to an apartment fire at 3700 E. Fourth Plain Blvd. Initial reports to 9-1-1 stated that the building was experiencing electrical problems.
The first-arriving fire engine found fire through the roof of the two-story structure. Additional crews were called to the scene due to the size of the building and presence of fire in the attic.
Firefighters were able to stop the attic fire from below before it ran the length of the 16-unit building. The American Red Cross responded to help with seven people that were displaced from their homes.
Clark County Fire District 6 personnel also assisted in the fire attack efforts. Vancouver Fire marshals are conducting the investigation.
