A house fire in the Old Evergreen Highway neighborhood late Thursday morning displaced two people, according to the Vancouver Fire Department.
Firefighters were dispatched at 11:35 a.m. to 1500 S.E. 79th Court for a report of a residential structure fire.
The first arriving crew found smoke billowing from the front of a single-story residence, Vancouver firefighter-paramedic Bryan Fredrickson said.
Two residents were home when the fire started; they met responding firefighters outside and were uninjured, Fredrickson said.
Firefighters grabbed a fire hose and entered the home, dousing flames that had quickly spread through the kitchen. The fire was under control in about 11 minutes.
