At 5:28 a.m. Saturday, East County Fire and Rescue and the Camas-Washougal Fire Department responded to a fire at 2101 N.E. 375th Ave. in Washougal. It’s the property of Mark and Julia Fennell, according to county property records.
The structure, a log cabin, was on fire when firefighters arrived. A total of 15 units responded from East County Fire and Rescue, the Camas-Washougal Fire Department, the Vancouver Fire Department and Skamania County.
But because there are no fire hydrants in the area, “initial responding crews took a defensive stance to protect the surrounding area,” said a statement released on Saturday. “The home, valued at $350,000, was judged a total loss.”
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Clark County Fire Marshal. Occupants got out safely and there were no injuries to responding personnel.
