No one was injured, but two people were displaced by the fire

On Tuesday (April 23) at 3:45 p.m., the Vancouver Fire Department was called for a house fire at 100 S. Knoxville Way. As the crews were on their way, reports were coming in that a significant amount of fire was showing from the back of the house.

Crews arrived minutes later to find a single-story house with flames showing from the front and back of the house. Due to the amount of fire showing, firefighters initially stretched hose lines to the front of the house to apply water from the outside.

Once the outside fire was under control, crews moved inside to attack the fire that was in the attic and search for anyone still inside. In approximately 15 minutes, reports came back that everyone made it out safely and crews were getting control of the fire.

Four fire engines, two ladder trucks, one squad and two battalion chiefs, for a total of 24 firefighters responded to the scene. There were no injuries reported and there were two people displaced from their home.

The fire is under investigation by the Vancouver Fire Marshal.
