Flames gutted the kitchen of a double-wide manufactured home near Dollars Corner on Wednesday evening, with the fire displacing the home’s residents.
The fire sparked shortly after 7 p.m. in the kitchen of the home, at 5302 N.E. 239th St., west of Battle Ground. The home is near a fire station, so crews arrived quickly to attack the flames, Clark County Fire & Rescue Battalion Chief Tim Dawdy said.
When the agency’s firefighters got to the home, they found flames throughout the kitchen. They doused the fire using water from their ladder truck while tender trucks headed to the scene to assist. The area has no fire hydrants.
The fire was out in “just a couple minutes,” Dawdy said. “They were really close, and they arrived quickly.”
