Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue crews had to get creative to extinguish a fire that broke out just before 2 p.m. on Monday. The home was located next to Interstate 5 at the Lewis River Bridge near Woodland. Fire officials said they had a tough time reaching the home because of a muddy driveway that was too steep for regular fire engines. Crews had to bring in smaller “brush units” typically used for fighting wildfires to help get the flames under control. A fire boat was also on the scene to pump water from the Lewis River into hoses used to fight the flames. Fire officials also said the property owner is in the process of having a renter at the property evicted. There was no evidence of anyone at the scene when fire crews arrived. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
