The dog was taken to the emergency animal hospital where he received treatment for smoke inhalation
On Monday (Nov. 21), the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to a house fire at 6021 NE 76th Circle. Four fire engines, a ladder truck and two battalion chiefs responded to the scene.
When the first unit arrived on scene, they found light smoke coming from the vents of the house. They also noticed the homeowners were not home, however, firefighters could hear their dog inside. Utilizing the doorbell camera system, the battalion chief was able to contact the homeowner who helped firefighters get inside and remove the dog from the smoke.
Firefighters quickly pulled lines to the first floor of the house and extinguished the fire. The fire was under control in less than 10 minutes from arrival time. The dog was taken to the emergency animal hospital where he received treatment for smoke inhalation.
There were no other injuries to report, and the fire is under investigation by the Clark County Fire Marshal’s office.
