Two rooms of a Walnut Grove home were damaged in a Wednesday night fire that began when fireplace embers ignited wrapping paper, according to fire officials.
Vancouver Fire Department sent out three engines and a truck to 6402 N.E. 66th Ave. at 10:17 p.m., said VFD spokesman Joe Spatz.
Firefighters arrived to find flames coming out of the front door of the home, Spatz said. They ran a water line from the street and began dousing the fire, which was extinguished in about 10 minutes.
The home’s occupants, including a pet, made it out of the home before responders arrived, Spatz said.
