Smoke detectors in a duplex alerted neighbors to a fire Monday morning, one that damaged a single bedroom and its contents before firefighters extinguished it.
Vancouver Fire Department spokesman Darrin Deming said firefighters got a call about a house fire at 4311 N.E. Morrow Road just after 11:20 a.m.
Firefighters arrived to find smoke coming from the building’s front door, he said.
Firefighters went upstairs to find a bedroom on fire, and they put out the fire in about 20 minutes, he said.
Information on what caused the fire or an estimate for the extent of the damage was not available, but Deming said the occupants weren’t home when the fire started.
