A total of seven adults, nine children and four pets were displaced from three apartments
A total of seven adults, nine children and four pets were displaced from three apartments in a Sunday fire at the Fountain Village Apartments in Vancouver.
Vancouver Fire was dispatched at 6:29 Sunday (Aug. 14) to the report of a fire at 11900 NE 103rd St. in Vancouver. Several fire units arrived at nearly the same time to find smoke from a third story apartment.
The first arriving engine found a fire had been extinguished in a third-floor apartment by the sprinkler system. They checked for fire extensions in the surrounding area and found none. Two engines, one truck and one battalion chief stayed on scene to control the incident. On scene crews then began to mitigate the water from the sprinkler system.
The American Red Cross was on scene to assist the displaced families. The Clark County Fire Marshal was on scene investigating. One civilian was injured during the incident and taken to Legacy Emanuel Hospital for burns. No firefighters were injured.
The Vancouver Fire Department would like to remind everyone of the importance of having functional smoke detectors and sprinkler systems.
