Firefighters quickly extinguished a house fire that damaged a home in Battle Ground on Saturday.
Clark County Fire District 3 Battalion Chief Dave O’Brien said crews responded to the fire at 122 S.W. 19th Place in Battle Ground at around 11:45 a.m. with assistance form the Vancouver Fire Department, Clark County Fire & Rescue and the Battle Ground Police Department.
Crews extinguished the fire within about 10 minutes, but most of the garage and part of the kitchen were burned and smoke and heat damaged much of the roughly 1,500 square foot home.
The fire affected three adults and three children, according to the Red Cross, which was called in to assist. No injuries were reported. Firefighters also reported a cat was displaced.
The blaze appears to have started in the garage and was still under investigation as of Saturday afternoon.
