Investigators are looking into a house fire in Clark County’s Sunnyside neighborhood that started in multiple spots throughout the home’s first floor Friday afternoon.
A neighbor called 911 at 1:49 p.m. Friday after spotting smoke coming from the roof of the two-story house at 6208 N.E. Wilding Road, according to Sarah Mitchelson, Fire District 6 public education coordinator. The home’s alarm system also went off.
Nobody was home at the time. A bystander reported seeing the homeowner leave the house about 20 minutes before the fire was reported, Mitchelson said.
When firefighters with Fire District 6 and the Vancouver Fire Department arrived at the house near Interstate 205 and Northeast St. Johns Road, they found black smoke coming out of the attic window.
