A home in Salmon Creek went up in flames early Wednesday morning, but fortunately no one was injured.
According to Clark County Fire District 6, firefighters from its district and Vancouver Fire responded at 2:40 a.m. to a house on fire near the intersection of Northwest 142nd Way and Northwest 29th Avenue.
At the scene, crews found a fully involved fire at the three-level home. Fire officials said flames were seen “shooting out of the front of the home.”
Three residents of the home and a dog had already safely evacuated before crews arrived.
In total, five engine companies, one truck, two squads, and two Battalion Chiefs fought the fire, which was brought under control in 20 minutes.
The cause of the fire is unknown and under investigation. The fire appeared to ignite at the front of the home, likely in the living room.
