At 10:51 this morning, the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to the report of a house fire at 3115 Drummond Ave in Vancouver, WA. Vancouver Fire responded with 10 units containing 27 first responders. We arrived to find a two-story home on fire. The fire was under control in less than five minutes. Unfortunately, two cats died in the fire. No one was injured in the fire and one person was displaced. The Red Cross was called to assist him and the Vancouver Fire Marshals office in on scene to investigate.
The Vancouver Fire Department wants to remind everyone to please have and check your smoke detectors on a regular basis.
